Package: apt Version: 0.3.13 Severity: normal Situation: I have gcc already newest version (at the moment) 1:2.95.2-0pre1. The problem: apt-get dist-upgrade tries to download/upgrade gcc, apt-get upgrade does not. Seems to be version comparing in dist-upgrade is broken. dist-upgrade shows version as 1%3a2.95, which leads it to confusion.
