I confirm this is still present in lucid. In the rare case that I need to work around this problem, I just set the package in question to "hold" status in aptitude. ** Tags added: lucid -- APT shows same-version packages as upgradable when the packages are the same version but are different (e.g. one from debian, one from ubuntu) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87114 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Angel: this is exactly the same bug. It makes it impossible to track package numbers across different repositories if it happens that two repositories carry different packages with the same version number. -- APT shows same-version packages as upgradable when the packages are the same version but are different (e.g. one from debian, one from ubuntu) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87114 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'd like that too. I am not sure if this is the same bug or a new one, so please give me your opinion and I will file another bug if necessary: I am tracking feisty and debian unstable, I just want a few packages from the latter, so I set it with a priority of -1, but my installed packages (priority 100) are shown unlinked from the repository that they were supposedly installed, for example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ apt-cache policy antiword antiword: Installed: 0.37-2 Candidate: 0.37-2 Version table: 0.37-2 0 -1 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages 0.37-2 0 990 http://ar.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/universe Packages *** 0.37-2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status This causes apt to repeatedly install this package when performing an upgrade, which is -to say the least- not the expected behavior. I know the reinstall of the package might be caused because of the lack of the source of installation in /var/lib/dpkg/status, but shouldn't a priority of -1 at least make apt refuse to install from that repository?

Is there an easy way to fix this (even in an ugly manner, just for personal use)? Now that Feisty went stable, I’d love to track versions of certain packages in Gutsy and Debian unstable; I initially used madison-lite for this, but switched to APT+pinning as the more universal and useful solution. -- APT shows same-version packages as upgradable when the packages are the same version but are different (e.g. one from debian, one from ubuntu) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87114 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
