Right. But if you compare the metdata for mutt in the relevant
Packages files, there is a mismatch. From current stable:

Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.2-1
Installed-Size: 6104
Maintainer: Mutt maintainers <pkg-mutt-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
...
Priority: optional
Filename: pool/main/m/mutt/mutt_1.7.2-1_amd64.deb
Size: 1562454
MD5sum: ba99d07da2382c1861533e4a55ebe6f8
SHA256: b4032390b6e0347863558015f2c5dfff19af61145d745351c30be66932d2a9c2


And from stable-security:

Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.2-1+deb9u1
Installed-Size: 6108
Maintainer: Mutt maintainers <pkg-mutt-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
...
Priority: standard
Filename: pool/updates/main/m/mutt/mutt_1.7.2-1+deb9u1_amd64.deb
Size: 1564182
MD5sum: aa2aa9266ed488bc57e486497dcde2b0
SHA1: 4dac8ed3ec8dd50de65ff3cb07eef1963d3e96c0
SHA256: 749a070599b56c923c514cd7b9fab6f94b01c662a9c5c93182366f81990f4d87

which suggests there may be a problem with overrides in the security
archive. The overrides file for security isn't available to look at
directly to check...

I'll talk to the ftp team and see what's going on...
