Just to make my further statement more precise:

scout webpin finds something. But... currently I'm sitting at an
openSUSE 11.2 workstation. I entered "scout webpin amavis", and all I
got was a bunch of packages in 11.1. So scout webpin is not reliable :-(
It just give hints where I may search to find the real package am
looking for.

I do not see any hint on the man page of scout how to fix this
behaviour. How does scout get the wrong release info?

Regards,
Werner
