synaptic reinstalls old versions

[n dhert]

Although I have executed sudo apt-get update, and /etc/apt/sources.lst
contains the correct lines, it seems not registrered :
$ apt-cache policy verilog
verilog:
  Installed: 0.8.6-1
  Candidate: 0.8.6-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.6-1 0
        500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
and hence no way to get a higher version of verilog ..
