The information that apt-cache uses is not the same as what approx uses, so I can't tell if there is a bug here. Approx uses the Release and Packages files in its own cache. So can you please check the version, size, and checksum information that are listed for the perl-modules package in /var/cache/approx/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz If another client did an "apt-get update" more recently, it's possible that the perl-modules package is indeed obsolete as far as approx is concerned. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
