Binary package hint: kpackagekit
In Lucid kpackagekit shows a fix in the wrong group from time to time.
This is difficult to reproduce, because it depends on the package
versions installed and on the package versions available from the repos.
So in normal usage (i.e. if you don't downgrade packages) the same
problem will never appear twice.
Today I happen to have the issue for linux-generic:
$ apt-cache policy linux-generic
linux-generic:
Installed: 2.6.32.24.25
Candidate: 2.6.32.25.27
Version table:
2.6.32.25.27 0
500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
*** 2.6.32.24.25 0
500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.6.32.21.22 0
500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
$
The candidate version comes from lucid-updates, not from lucid security.
Still kpackagekit shows it as a security fix. See attached screen shot.
Note that the version numbers in kpackagekit are equal to those shown
by apt-cache.
