zira:~> apt-show-versions -a lego
lego:amd64 3.2.0-3.1+b5 stable   ftp.debian.org
No stable-updates version
lego:amd64 4.9.1-1      testing  ftp.debian.org
lego:amd64 4.9.1-1      unstable ftp.debian.org
No experimental version
lego:amd64 not installed

Indeed, 3.2.0-3.1 is no longer the testing version. Your database
seems to be out-of-date.
