Hmmm. I'm using an intermediate debmirror for those tasks.
On my desktop machine (which is still wasting bandwidth by querying
ftp.fu-berlin.de), 1.6.5-1 would be shown by apt-cache showpkg cfengine,
but the machines using the miror would report
1.6.5-2(/var/lib/apt/lists/faiserv1_i_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status)
This is somewhat strange. The mirror synchronizes with ftp2.de.debian.org,
and (of course) keeps not only sarge but testing and unstable as well.
Looking into the mirror's repository I find
phobos:/data/debian/mirror-i386/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386# grep
cfengine Packages
Package: cfengine
Suggests: cfengine-doc
Filename: pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
This is puzzling... looking deeper into it:
phobos:/data/debian/mirror-i386/debian# grep /cfengine_1 */*/*/*/Packages
dists/etch/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-1_i386.deb
dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages:Filename:
pool/main/c/cfengine/cfengine_1.6.5-2_i386.deb
Huh? Why does stable show -1, while sarge lists -2?
Have to investigate.
Looks like I invited a lot of trouble - I guess this wouldn't be the only
problem :-(((

I ran into this yesterday when I had to install an emergency replacement
for a failed server. Thanks to FAI this would only take 20 minutes, but this
time I got lots of errors during the config part.

What first confused me was that packages.debian.org still lists 1.6.5-1
for stable, and 1.6.5-2 for testing - which isn't true (I installed a pure
sarge system, and got 1.6.5-2 during the fai run. Had to manually downgrade
to 1.6.5-1 since fai installs would fail with 1.6.5-2 --- so the problem
isn't limited to softupgrades :-((( )
Note that 1.6.5-[12] have been submitted two years apart...

That's probably the way to go. I will look in the BTS whether there's
something to add...

Ok, I will do so. I'd expect a change of the (Debian) revision not to break so
many things, but judging from #311276 not only one thing is broken...

It does. softupdate runs well with cfengine 1.6.5-1. We should file a bug
report against cfengine. Bug #311276 looks similar.

Are you by chance using the version from the version from the testing
distribution (1.6.5-2)? As I got the errors too, but only on some of my hosts, I
tried the version from stable (1.6.5-1), and this solved the problem for me!
If it solves the problem for you too, we should file a bug report against
cfengine.

Michael
