Thanks, Riku, but no. Don't play ping pong with bugs if you are not
sure whats going on.

And? What has the package description to do at all with this bug? It
has no influence at all, its the Source: control field that counts.

Ah. When? While browsing packages.qa.d.o for kdenetwork and kdepim it
seems to have moved in january. Quite some time....
Aaah! I see the problem!
Versions: 4:3.2.1-1 [i386, powerpc], 4:3.1.5-1 [alpha, arm, hppa, ia64,
m68k, mips, mipsel, s390, sparc]
3.2.1 in fact doesn't have kmail in kdenetwork, 3.1.5 *does* have kmail
in kdenetwork.
The problem is not easy to solve, I'm afraid. There must have been some
puzzling in the package parsing with respect to having all the different
architectures with their current version number listed. The source link
would always be broken for outdated packages, but the sensible thing
would be to point to the source package for the latest source (which is
done, but for the old source name, strangely).
Frank, I definitely hope this is enough analysis for you to be able to
find where the real problem lies :)
> I'm not sure what version packages.debian.org should reflect,
Then take a look at the header of the pages: It should reflect the
version in the pool for the corresponding architectures. Anything else
doesn't make much sense to me, does it to you? :)

Right. Sorry for Riku :) He's young and innocent, or such.
So long,
Alfie
