Package: apt
Version: 0.3.10slink11
I am running an almost pure slink system, and since a few days ago,
every time I run apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade I receive the
following messages:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/359kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

There seems to be no reason for this: the tclx76 7.6.0-3 package seems
to be successfully installed--at least dpkg -l says it is, and yet APT
keeps trying to reinstall it. Any ideas why this might be?
