Doubt about apt-show-versions


I use Debian Squeeze.

Quote:
# apt-show-versions -v
..
..
..
ncurses-base 5.7+20100313-5 newer than version in archive
But if I go to http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpackages I'll find:

Quote:
ncurses-base (5.7+20100313-5)
basic terminal type definitions
So, why the message "newer than version in archive"?
Thankyou very much

Description: Blu-ray disc playback support library (libraries)
 libbluray is an open-source library designed for Blu-Ray Discs playback for
 media players, like VLC or MPlayer. This research project is developed by an
 international team of developers from Doom9. libbluray integrates navigation,
