I assumed that any of the versions with non-free/x11 would do for this test. If there is/was an issue with this, it's more likely that it is an issue with "randomness" of versions rather than with a problem related to the exact versiof of the package. Sometimes, when aptitude looks for this information (sections, maintainers, etc), asks for any version installed on the system and assumes that all versions contain the same info (except version number, size, etc.). So in those cases the result depends on which particular version apt gave back first. >> When I enter package info screen the first time, the section is "x11" >> (and the maintainer "P.

OK, I will do that. Of course, please reopen or submit a new one if you find this issue again (now that you know about it, perhaps you notice it in other fields that change more often, like Maintainer).
