oddity in apt-cache

[Freddy Freeloader]

I have three separate machines that have identical entries in 
/etc/apt/sources.list.  All were updated and upgraded this morning as a 
result of troubleshooting this issue.  On machine #1 I can apt-cache 
show nhfsstone and it returns the expected data on nhfsstone.  On 
machines 2 and 3 it tells me that the nhfsstone package cannot be 
found.  Running apt-cache search nfs on all machines yeilds similar 
results.  Machine #1 has nhfsstone included in the result set.  Machines 
2 and 3 do not. 

All machines are pointed to: deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian sid 
main contrib non-free. 

This just makes absolutely no sense to me.  I'm pointing all three to 
the same set of repositories and yet two machines cannot find a software 
package the other machine finds.   I realize that all machines may not 
see exactly the same server every time, but to have a package being 
found on one machine and missing on two others seems very strange.

Can anyone explain this anomaly this to me?
