apt-get bug in version detection?

I see that YDL posted a new update today, for qt.  When I try to use
apt-get to get it, it says:

  > sudo apt-get install qt
  Processing File Dependencies... Done
  Reading Package Lists... Done       
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  Sorry, qt is already the newest version
  0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove(replace) and 2 not
  upgraded. 

The two packages in question are qt and qt-devel (I don't use any
other qt- packages).  The versions I have installed are 3.0.3-11.  The
versions in the update are 3.0.3-11a.  Apparently apt-get doesn't
think this is a newer version.  Why not?
