Thanks for that tip. I waited for awhile to see how this worked out in case there was something odd with a repo mirror not being in sync. But the problem I've seen remains. If I disable the main squeeze repo mirror in source.list: #deb http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free then the update can be found in squeeze-updates: # apt-cache policy clamav clamav: Installed: 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1 Candidate: 0.97.1+dfsg-1~squeeze1 Version table: 0.97.1+dfsg-1~squeeze1 0 500 http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze-updates/main amd64 Packages *** 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status If I leave the main squeeze mirror (there are none other for plain squeeze) in sources.list: deb http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free then the clamav update does not show as available: # apt-cache policy clamav clamav: Installed: 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1 Candidate: 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1 Version table: 0.97.1+dfsg-1~squeeze1 0 500 http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze-updates/main amd64 Packages *** 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1 0 990 http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status This jives with the report I've seen with apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and what packages it would update. I've never seen a case like this before. It has also been seen if I change base squeeze mirror repos to yorku.ca: http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free I wouldn't expect to have to comment out the core squeeze mirror entry in order to use updates available in squeeze-updates -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
