[Bug 806864] Re: remove from repository
I didn't even notice when you first pasted this in IRC that it's a warning, not an error. So, yeah, I don't suspect this is bug-worthy in dpkg either, it's just expected behaviour for it to yell about bad version numbers. Cleaning out your crufty dpkg available file with "dpkg --forget-old- unavail" should make it stop whining. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/806864 Title: remove from repository To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/806864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

x-loader-omap4 is only present in Maverick, not in recent/current releases, and we don't tend to remove packages from old releases. ** Changed in: x-loader-omap4 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/806864 Title: remove from repository To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x-loader-omap4/+bug/806864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
