Thanks for the quick reply.  I don't understand, though.  The latest
version of apt on master.debian.org is 0.3.19, which is dated in May:

  vanzandt-pc:~/ftp$ ssh master.debian.org ls -l
  /home/Debian/ftp/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/base/apt_0.3.19.deb
  jrv@master.debian.org's password:
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 archvsyn archvsyn       55 Jun  5 21:24
  /home/Debian/ftp/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/base/apt_0.3.19.deb
  -> ../../../../potato/main/binary-i386/base/apt_0.3.19.deb
  vanzandt-pc:~/ftp$ ssh master.debian.org ls -l
  /home/Debian/ftp/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/base/apt_0.3.19.deb

It still exhibits the problem:

I don't see anything newer in the incoming directory on ftp-master, either.
