Works in Wheezy. Wheezy$ apt-show-versions | grep xlockmore xlockmore 1:5.31-1 installed: No available version in archive But it appears to be a bug in Sid/Jessie. I see this has already been reported with this bug filed against it. https://bugs.debian.org/768978 There is a patch attached to the report. When I try the attached patch I see the correct output for xlockmore. Sid$ apt-show-versions | grep xlockmore xlockmore:amd64 1:5.31-1.1 installed: No available version in archive It appears the bug needs some tlc and attention and will otherwise release with Jessie.
