The issue seems to be, that ubuntu-support-status reads the package information about support timeframe and some maintainers get confused or mix or forget to set the proper timeframe for the LTS releases to 5 years (for the main repo).
On a 16.04 machine it lists python-dbg as unsupported. the reason is its set to 9month support: > apt show python-dbg Package: python-dbg Version: 2.7.11-1 Priority: extra Section: python Source: python-defaults Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Matthias Klose <d...@debian.org> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Installed-Size: 25,6 kB Depends: python (= 2.7.11-1), libpython-dbg (= 2.7.11-1), python2.7-dbg (>= 2.7.11-1~) Homepage: http://www.python.org/ Supported: 9m Download-Size: 1.252 B APT-Sources: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages Description: Debugversion des Python-Interpreters (Version 2.7) Dieser Python-Interpreter wurde mit --pydebug konfiguriert. Dynamisch ladbare Module sucht er zuerst in /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/debug. So what is the correct path now? file bugs for every Package where the maintainers set the Support timeframe to 9 months? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574670 Title: ubuntu-support-status returns inaccurate information To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1574670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
