Package: apt Version: 0.5.9 Severity: important I haven't seen any package updates for a few days, and now I know why. Here's an example with lprng, but the same happens with other packages, including apt itself (before I manually upgraded it to 0.5.9). As you can see, apt-cache reveals a new version available, but apt-get ignores it. I'm baffled.
