Is it possible that the package you installed locally is different from the one on http://www.sprezzatech.com/apt/, despite having the same version number? Compare your output with what I get here: ,---- | $ LANG=C apt-cache policy apt | apt: | Installed: 0.9.7.8 | Candidate: 0.9.7.8 | Version table: | 0.9.7.9~exp1 0 | 101 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main i386 Packages | *** 0.9.7.8 0 | 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages | 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status `---- By default, "aptitude show" only prints the status of the "candidate" version, and if that one is different from the installed version, you'll see that the package is "not installed", see #539978¹. You can request it to show all versions with the -v option.
