I made a backport of kvm from hardy to gutsy in my ppa. The package is
installed and works, but it keeps being listed as an upgrade by apt:

        andrea at andrea-laptop:~$ apt-cache policy kvm
        kvm:
          Installed: 1:59+dfsg-0ubuntu2.1~ppa1
          Candidate: 1:59+dfsg-0ubuntu2.1~ppa1

        Abort.

Upgrading does not change anything.
Any idea why?
Thanks
