Package: backupninja
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 0.9.3-6
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Maintainer: Micah Anderson <micah riseup.net>

seems not to contain/install "ninjahelper"


According to 
http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341239
ninjahelper should had been added in 0.9.2-1 unstable..?
                                         ^----!
In stable you find 0.9.3
too on the webpage                                          
dev.riseup.net/backupninja/download/backupninja-0.9.3.tar.gz 
where "ninjahelper" is included but "./configure" fails under 
debian-linux.


Any hints what's going wrong?

TIA.

Rainer

Version: 0.4.2-1

This is fixed for a long time, though the changelog entry has the wrong
bug number!

  * Make the behavior of "aptitude show" more intuitive: state
    information corresponds to the Version displayed, ...
    (Closes: #375393, #372796)

Still fixed in 0.6.8.4-1:

  $ apt-cache policy acpi
  acpi:
    Installed: 1.6-1
    Candidate: 1.7-1
    Version table:
       1.7-1 0
          500 http://mirror.waia.asn.au/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages
   *** 1.6-1 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  $ aptitude show acpi=1.6-1 | grep 'State:'
  State: installed
  $ aptitude show acpi=1.7-1 | grep 'State:'
  State: not installed


It is elsewhere suggested to change the final line, so that upgrades to
existing packages make this more clear by having 'State: not installed
(upgrade)' or something similar. [1]
