It's the converse. emacs-common is installed as arch:all sid because the debian archive doesn't see the debian-ports archive. And the debian-ports archive doesn't know to keep a copy of the old version of the arch:all package. > Where does the problem lie? In that debian-ports uses mini-dak, not dak, and thus has limited capabilities. It's on the TODO-list, help welcome. Samuel
