--- Begin Message ---Package: apticron Version: 1.1.56 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, for some days now, apticron sends me a mail like this every evening: [BEGIN QUOTE ================== >8 ======================] apticron report [Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:47:50 +0200] ======================================================================== apticron has detected that some packages need upgrading on: h2020100.stratoserver.net [ 127.0.0.1 85.214.220.216 85.214.70.9 ] [ 2a01:238:42ab:400:ac8d:362f:16d6:9b4e ::2 85.214.220.216 ] [ 2a01:238:42ab:400:ac8d:362f:16d6:9b4e ] The following packages are currently pending an upgrade: libaudit0 1:1.7.18-1.1 libcryptsetup4 2:1.4.3-4 libsystemd-daemon0 44-11+deb7u4 libsystemd-id128-0 44-11+deb7u4 libsystemd-journal0 44-11+deb7u4 ======================================================================== Package Details: Reading changelogs... apt-listchanges: didn't find any valid .deb archives [END QUOTE ======================== 8< ===========================] However, none of these packages is actually installed. There's no need to upgrade them. Hence I'd epxect apticron not to tell me about them. I have no idea why it selected these 5 packages. I upgraded to the testing version of apticron, to no avail. I do have testing in the sources.list, pinned to 1 (except for the nodejs packages). However, apticron started with these mails long after I changed my sources.list and the APT policy.
