aptitude update gives the following:
Current status: 0 broken [+0], 0 updates [+0], 9416 new [+0]
aptitude install (or safe-upgrade) shows the following:
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
apt-show-versions gives the following culprit:
wine/etch downgradeable from 1.1.5-1 to 1.1.1~winehq0~debian~4.0-1
apt-show-versions -a wine
wine 1.1.5-1 install ok installed
wine 1.0.0-1~bpo40+1 etch-backports www.backports.org
No stable version
wine 1.0.0-1 testing debian.mirror.frontiernet.net
wine 1.0.0-1.1 sid debian.mirror.frontiernet.net
wine 1.1.1~winehq0~debian~4.0-1 etch wine.budgetdedicated.com
wine 1.1.5-1 experimental debian.mirror.frontiernet.net
No testing version
No unstable version
wine/etch downgradeable from 1.1.5-1 to 1.1.1~winehq0~debian~4.0-1
Note that the wine package 1.1.1 is the one from winehq, using the winehq
repos. Source list:
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/ etch main
That's also the one with 500 priority (same thing happened woth a 450 prority,
but that shouldn't override an installed package (and in fact it doesn't
actually try to install it, which is good). Downgrading the wine package to
this version clears up all the problems. Reinstalling the experimental (most
recent) version causes the erroneous count to appear again. Changing the
priority to <100 also solves the problem. >=100 and the problem occurs. Since
an installed package supposedly has a prioroty of 100 then having equal
priorities shouldn't cause this problem (installed has a > version). Because
installed has a > version then this shouldn't happen even with larger
priorities (unless I'm misunderstanding something about how they're supposed to
work).
Note that I suspect that this should really be filed against ether apt or dpkg
since upgrade manager exhibits similiar symptoms. Systray icon shows as updates
available. Bring up the app and it states "System up to date". But since I'm
not sure exactly where to file it, and since I discovered it using aptitude
(command line mode) I'm sending it here.
If you need any more info please ask.

The submitter tells me that this was due to an unusual configuration
on his machine. It looks to me like aptitude's behavior is correct:
an update is available (the newer older version), and *-upgrade shows
that a package is not being upgraded for whatever reason. I'm still
curious what "aptitude install wine" would have done, but I forgot
to ask before and he's fixed his system. Anyway, we can close this. :-)
There may be a bug in the apt documentation.
