Is this the installed version?

The output is attached.

Is your system amd64?

No I don't get any Errors. But it might be that the versions on
oldstable are different from the versions in stable since oldstable of
amd64 was not in the main archive and all the packages were recompiled
for the etch release but the version number was not bumbed. So this
might be why the package has different md5s in oldstable and stable. But
still apt-get should register correctly the installed version and
identify it.
If I understand this correctly, in the above output the installed
version should have an md5sum and this would identify the installed
version with the version in der Package file? So the question would be,
why is apt-get not writing the installed versions md5 into the status db?
