Re: List of upgradable packages, version numbers and changelog?

I use aptitude sometimes (actually I often use them intermixed; apt-get
and aptitude). Anyway. I ensures "aptitude update" and then this:
$ aptitude changelog apache2
Ign ChangeLog of apache2
E: Couldn't fetch URL
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/apache2/apache2_2.2.16-6+squeeze2~bpo50+1/changelog
E: Couldn't find a changelog for apache2
I don't why it means it's a backport; yes, I've a backports line for
lenny on this system, but apache2 is not one of them:
$ dpkg -p apache2|grep lenn
Version: 2.2.9-10+lenny10
Depends: apache2-mpm-worker (>= 2.2.9-10+lenny10) | apache2-mpm-prefork
(>= 2.2.9-10+lenny10) | apache2-mpm-event (>= 2.2.9-10+lenny10)
When I look at it with apt-show-versions:
$ apt-show-versions -u
apache2/lenny upgradeable from 2.2.9-10+lenny10 to 2.2.9-10+lenny11
apache2-mpm-prefork/lenny upgradeable from 2.2.9-10+lenny10 to
2.2.9-10+lenny11
apache2-utils/lenny upgradeable from 2.2.9-10+lenny10 to 2.2.9-10+lenny11
apache2.2-common/lenny upgradeable from 2.2.9-10+lenny10 to 2.2.9-10+lenny11
The actual sources.list looks like this (I use a proxy for the sake of
bandwidth):
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://apt-proxy:9999/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://apt-proxy:9999/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://apt-proxy:9999/debian-security/ lenny/updates main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://apt-proxy:9999/debian-security/ lenny/updates main
contrib non-free
deb http://apt-proxy:9999/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://apt-proxy:9999/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
contrib non-free
deb http://apt-proxy:9999/backports/ lenny-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://apt-proxy:9999/backports/ lenny-backports main contrib
non-free
I feel a bit lost here now ...
thank you,
