This bug has nothing to do with apt. 1. User runs dselect update. The result is a valid available file, containing Package: foo, Version: 1.0-1, Filename: .../foo_1.0-1_all.deb 2. User installs package foo, version 1.0-2 with dpkg --install. The result is an invalid available file, containing a stanza with Package: foo, Version: 1.0-2, Filename: .../foo_1.0-1_all.deb -- - mdz
