Aaaah, the infamous upgrade bit mismatched stuff.

Let me guess, the updates you had have the same version as those already installed.

The issue is, someone borked the repos. Some packages in devel, testing and final aren't the same, that is, the binaries differ, but not the version. As a result, apt-get offers to "upgrade" them both ways.

Because the version is the same, it doesn't know that one version superseded the other, so when enabling -devel it offers to upgrade from devel, when enabling -testing but not devel it offers that version instead.

The reason why your updates jump up and down is because you enable and disable repos. Right now, if you disable -devel, you get upgrade to say 0.0.3. If you do so and then enable -devel, another update will appear, to 0.0.3.

To maintain sanity, all managers must share the same repos. I had quite a dig at that.

You're welcome. :P
