When adding the new mirror. dist-upgrade wants to "upgrade" many installed packages... with ones of the same version!
Example: ike:/home/apt-drink# apt-cache policy ttf-freefont ttf-freefont: Installed: 20031008-1.1 Candidate: 20031008-1.1 Version table: 20031008-1.1 0 500 http://amd64.debian.net sid/main Packages *** 20031008-1.1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Any hints on why can this be happening?
