And that's not better, thats even bader. The version in testing _is_ 2.3.1-16. The question is, _why_ this is happening. I see that it shows somehow the version of the security updates for testing instead of the testing version on packages.debian.org. I really believe that 2.3.1-16 (from testing itself) is a higher version number than 2.2.5-9.woody.3 (from testing security?) and therefore should be prefered. I am not sure which script is misbehaving here (I guess search_packages.pl itself), so I'm not sure (yet) how to fix it. I'm willing to take a look but that might take a little while. Still, this is a real bug, please don't close it unless the scripts are fixed.
