Most updated nowadays go into "unstable" which are later on
pushed to "testing" (the former "current"). This is explained at
  http://www.opencsw.org/2011/11/release-branches-adjusted/
  https://www.opencsw.org/get-it/releases/

This looks like an error in the package push:

I have made a complete new set and just published it to unstable/, it should be
visible in a couple of hours:

BTW, the previous CSWlibidn is now an empty stub and the contents has been split into a library
package, development files and utilities.

PS: I remember now, libidn already was a stub although the name does not match the conventional *stub,
the version should be safe to ignore as it pulls in the real packages.
