Hi all,
 I have been using apt-show-versions for over a year and most of the
time its been good. Sometimes though it throws a curveball. For
instance mozilla.debian.net has made some changes to its repo.

http://glandium.org/blog/?p=2115

basically the /etc/apt/sources.list a user needs to add the following
lines to use/check out the releases from mozilla.debian.net

#Debian mozilla repostiory
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-beta
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-aurora

Now did that and re-ran and $sudo aptitude update

Tried to use apt-show-versions to see if all the releases are shown or not.

$ apt-show-versions -a iceweasel
iceweasel 5.0-2 install ok installed
iceweasel 3.5.16-6 stable       http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.19-3 testing      http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.19-3 sid          http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 5.0-2    experimental http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 6.0~b1-1 experimental mozilla.debian.net
iceweasel/experimental uptodate 5.0-2

As can be seen iceweasel only shows 6.0 beta version for mozilla.debian.net

Seeing the same in aptitude versions gives a slightly different picture

$ aptitude versions iceweasel
p   3.5.16-6                                    stable                   500
p   3.5.19-3                                    testing,unstable         500
i   5.0-2                                       experimental             100
p   6.0~b1-1                                    experimental             1
p   7.0~a2+20110707042018-1                     experimental             1

I like/prefer apt-show-versions as you also get the full address of
from where you are getting the version thing (for e.g.
mozilla.debian.net is not an official debian repo). Please fix this,
its an annonying bug.
