Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
There is currently an inconstency between potato and woody:
lftp ftp.debian.org:/pub/debian> dir dists/woody/main/binary-i386/admin/ana*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp ftp 21770 May 25 18:52 dists/woody/main/binary-i386/admin/anacron_2.1-5.1.deb
lftp ftp.debian.org:/pub/debian> dir dists/potato/main/binary-i386/admin/ana*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp ftp 21792 May 29 16:46 dists/potato/main/binary-i386/admin/anacron_2.1-5.1.deb
That is 1 only version number for 2 different contents (just reported
against ftp.d.o and anacron).
What apt does, when one of the dists is active in apt.conf, and
anacron is in sync with this dist, and I switch to the other dist, is
"upgrading" to the one in the other dist. It works both ways, so I
suppose the only check for an upgrade is "proposed package is
different" (based on what ?), and test on version is ">=" where it
should be ">>".

APT can sense the two files are different but does not know which should
be newer, it assumes that the last one it reads (ie the first in
sources.list) is the newest version and always installs that.
