	I call this a bug on the repositorie that let you get the 
wrong updates. Your working with Alfa versions and I think 
your headed for trouble if you try to change basic things with 
DEB files.

	If you want to report that Update Manager is wrong that will 
help. I doubt that a bug that reports a DEB package did not 
work will get much attention.
