I claim though that it it should be identical to the .deb file, because I ran dpkg-scanpackages on it myself, and haven't updated anything since (besides, if I had updated something, the MD5sum check would fail wouldn't it?)

I wildly speculate that apt-get is making the assumption that package version 1.1-11-2 will be exactly the same regardless of where it was downloaded from, and is comparing the deb file against the Packages entry from the unused/wrong source (priority==-1). -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
