Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apport
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
$ apt-cache policy apport
apport:
Installed: 0.108.2
Candidate: 0.108.2
Version table:
*** 0.108.2 0
500 http://apt.interlinx.bc.ca hardy-updates/main Packages

When trying to submit a crash report I got an error that there were
packages that were not up to date. Those packages it was complaining
about however were candidates from hardy-proposed. One for example was
libgcc1:
$ apt-cache policy libgcc1
libgcc1:
Installed: 1:4.2.3-2ubuntu7
Candidate: 1:4.2.4-1ubuntu1
Version table:
1:4.2.4-1ubuntu1 0
500 http://apt.interlinx.bc.ca hardy-proposed/main Packages
*** 1:4.2.3-2ubuntu7 0
500 http://apt.interlinx.bc.ca hardy/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
As you can see, I have the most recent "general release" version
installed already and the only other (newer or otherwise) version
available is from hardy-proposed.
apport should not consider libgcc1 "out of date" in this case.
