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
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.108 0
        500 http://apt.interlinx.bc.ca hardy/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apport should not consider libgcc1 "out of date" in this case.
