Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-notifier
update-notifier can present confusing information to the user in the
motd after miscounting the packages available for update in the case
where a package may be updated from both the -updates and the -security
repositories. An example fragment of motd output might be:
1 package can be updated.
2 updates are security updates.
In this case, the affected package has the following apt-cache policy:
ntpdate:
Installed: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7ubuntu5
Candidate: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7ubuntu5.1
Version table:
