Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.22.7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I installed docker-ce using their documentation:
https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/#install-docker-ce-1
Afterwards, apt-show-versions thinkgs that the installed version is
newer than the latest available version:
apt-show-versions docker-ce -a
docker-ce:amd64 5:18.09.0~3-0~debian-stretch install ok installed
docker-ce:amd64 18.06.1~ce~3-0~debian stretch download.docker.com
No stable version
No stable-updates version
docker-ce:amd64 5:18.09.0~3-0~debian-stretch newer than version in archive
Other tools believe that the right version is intalled:
apt-cache policy docker-ce
docker-ce:
Installed: 5:18.09.0~3-0~debian-stretch
Candidate: 5:18.09.0~3-0~debian-stretch

It looks like apt-show-versions gets tripped up by the inclusion of the epoch
in the version name, or maybe by something else in the totally valid, although
strange version system employed by docker-ce
I would prefer to be able to trust apt-show-versions to be right about what
version is the highest, since that is its function.
