I've tried about 7 different mirrors, all to the same avail. apt-get update doesn't help, either.

Just a preamble, I posted [this question on Server Fault][1], and they've explained what's at fault: > It often takes a few days for a package to appear in all architectures, > because some architectures have more computing power for building than > others.

I see that as of today, i386 have 10.1.0-1 but amd64 still has > 10.0.0-3. `python-twisted-mail` is from a different package that propagated > quickly because it's architecture-dependent.

So, as of this email, this is where I stand. I'm Debian Sid on AMD64, but I have access to Debian Testing's packages when things get a little nutty. Like here. It's a fine workaround, but the problem still exists. With that in mind, now is the time for me to make some replies.

It happens since it > is afterall very unstable and crazy in the head :P This is why I use Debian Sid. I can identify with it. As for the ticketing, I might do that later. I'm allright with making an utter fool of myself on debian-user, but the actual BTS? I'm not smart enough for that right now. Hell, I'm not really even smart enough for Debian Unstable. ------------------- On Thu, Jul 22, 2010, 10:49 PM, Andrei Popescu <andreimpopescu(a)gmail.com>: > Do you have unofficial packages installed?

Everything is stock sid stuff, with the caveat of the workaround described above.
