[LUG] Crazy Debian question...

 

Here's a crazy Debian question for you:

3 servers each running Debian stable.  All of them have *just* been 
apt-get updated and dist-upgraded... so why do some of them have older 
versions of some packages.

Just as a silly example:
Fileserver has: libgpmg1 version 1.19.6-19sarge
Mailserver has: libgpmg1 version 1.19.6-20


This is not a problem, I was just curious as to why multiple machines 
(all the same Arch, by the way) each running Stable and each having only 
just been updated to the latest would have different versions of some 
packages.

Cheers.
Grant.
