Hmmm. I'm using an intermediate debmirror for those tasks. On my desktop machine (which is still wasting bandwidth by querying ftp.fu-berlin.de), 1.6.5-1 would be shown by apt-cache showpkg cfengine, but the machines using the miror would report 1.6.5-2(/var/lib/apt/lists/faiserv1_i_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status) This is somewhat strange. The mirror synchronizes with ftp2.de.debian.org, and (of course) keeps not only sarge but testing and unstable as well. Looking into the mirror's repository I find phobos:/data/debian/mirror-i386/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386# grep cfengine Packages Package: cfengine Suggests: cfengine-doc Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb This is puzzling... looking deeper into it: phobos:/data/debian/mirror-i386/debian# grep /cfengine_1 */*/*/*/Packages dists/etch/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-1_i386.deb dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb Huh? Why does stable show -1, while sarge lists -2? Have to investigate. Looks like I invited a lot of trouble - I guess this wouldn't be the only problem :-((( Steffen -- Steffen Grunewald * MPI fuer Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut) SciencePark Golm, Am Mühlenberg 1, D-14476 Potsdam * http://www.aei.mpg.de * e-mail: steffen.grunewald(*)aei.mpg.de * +49-331-567-{fon:7233,fax:7298} No Word/PPT mails - http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
