Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.42
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello,
With DIFF_ONLY set apticron reports that there are X# packages previously
reported to you pending an upgrade even if an apt-get dist-upgrade has been run
in the period between the current and previous apticron runs.
Apticron should only report those packages that are still pending an upgrade.
Regards,
Dermot
