security upgrade problem on AMD64

[Faheem Mitha <faheem@email.unc.edu>]

Hi,

I'm having a weird problem with the apache security upgrades on AMD64. 
Does anyone have a clue what might be going on here?

I've posted to the AMD64 list, but I get the impression I'm the only one 
with this problem.

Apt keeps having me download the same version over and over. I'm seeing 
this on both of my AMD64 servers.

The only thing I've done that is at all out of the ordinary is that I
have a locally compiled (backported) version of subversion, which
includes the libapache2-svn, but I don't see that it has any bearing
on this.

Apparently apt for some reason considers the version of apache it just
downloaded to be different from what is on the server.

theda:/home/faheem# apt-cache policy apache2
apache2:
  Installed: 2.0.54-5
  Candidate: 2.0.54-5
  Version Table:
     2.0.55-3 0
         50 http://debian.csail.mit.edu unstable/main Packages
     2.0.54-5 0
         50 http://debian.csail.mit.edu testing/main Packages
     2.0.54-5 0
        500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages
 *** 2.0.54-5 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.0.54-4 0
        500 http://debian.csail.mit.edu stable/main Packages

Any enlightenment appreciated, suggestions how to debug this etc. This is 
getting to be a rather annoying problem.

Please cc me; I'm not subscribed. Thanks.
