project/experimental
I can access packages in project/experimental, except 4.3.0-0pre1v1
packages for which I have 4.3.0-0ds4 versions installed.

I do a dselect update (apt method) but the new XF86 packages don't
appear (expected a mostly smooth upgrade with a few obsolete
4.3.0-0ds4 and a few new 4.3.0-0pre1v1 packages).
dselect shows the 0ds4 packages as up-to-date (available versions are
4.2.1), a few new 0pre1v1 packages and an obsolete xlibmesa4; apt-get
behaves as if it sees the same "available".
<starts experimenting>
$ grep "Version: 4.3.0" /var/lib/apt/lists/*
shows only 4.3.0-0pre1v1 packages, and only coming from egr.msu.edu
(tried first with http.us.debian.org)
$ grep "Version: 4.3.0" /var/lib/dpkg/available
shows mostly 4.3.0-0ds4 packages (a few I have not installed are at
4.3.0-0pre1v1)
Hmmm...
# rm /var/lib/dpkg/available{,-old}
# cp /var/lib/apt/lists/*Packages > /var/lib/dpkg/available
# dselect
...no change, exiting dselect has dpkg/available back to not including
entries for the 4.3.0-0pre1v1 packages I have installed (it
constructed a new dpkg/available from data in dpkg/status?).
...copies all lists/*Packages files except *_unstable_main_* ones to
/root/tmp...
# cp /root/tmp/*Packages > /var/lib/dpkg/available
# dselect
...0ds4 packages are slated for upgrade to 0pre1v1
(and everything in main is marked Obsolete/local :)
</starts experimenting>
Can dpkg only handle seeing two versions of package, am I missing
missing something about using project/experimental, ...?
