I swear this wasn't happening earlier, but who knows. Okay, I wasn't hallucinating, really -- I still haven't updated to 4.2.85 on my main laptop (and probably won't, 'cause I use it for work every day), but I just tried this again and it still didn't show me any 64-bit updates. And I now understand why: it chose apt.uk.kde-redhat.org as the mirror for the 64-bit packages, but ftp.heanet.ie for the 32-bit packages. And it looks like the kde-redhat.org site doesn't have the latest packages ... is this true?
