In the example above, Archive is "now" and "unstable" because there's a new version that one can upgrade to, and same for one of the lines of Filename and MD5sum being empty. This is also documented in the manpage: If the verbosity level is 1 or greater (i.e., at least one -v is present on the command-line), information about all versions of the package is displayed. Otherwise, information about the “candidate version” (the version that “aptitude install” would download) is displayed. So closing as it's not a bug, it's intended behaviour and how it worked for a long time or forever. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <[email protected]>
