Below is the translation of a workaround posted by user "erginemr" in the Forum area of Ubuntu Turkey at page http://www.ubuntu- tr.org/index.php?topic=948.15
I hope it is helpful for the real solution. "... Anyway, I found a 'temporary' solution for this issue.What you should do is to intervene Debian package database manually to increase the sub-version numbers of these packages so to cheat Ubuntu in a way to ensure it that there's a new package installed in the system: *** WARNING: Valid only for HARDY HERON (v.8.04) *** 1. The database which installed packeges are listed: /var/lib/dpkg/status First of all make a copy of the file to be on the safe side: sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.bak 2. Open the file with Gnome Editor: gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status 3. Search for this line: Package: e2fsprogs and change this line :Version: 1.40.8-2ubuntu2 as this:Version: 1.40.8-2ubuntu2.1 4. Search for this line: Package: initscripts and change this line:Version: 2.86ds1-14.1ubuntu45 as this:Version: 2.86ds1-14.1ubuntu45.1 5. Save the file. By using the code below, refresh the software sources: sudo aptitude update >From now on -either via Synaptic or Update Manager- you shuld see that all your packages are up to date. Our fake version number increase is very small so that if and when there's a real update for these two packages, the update will come with a greater version number and package manager will recognise it." -- e2fsprogs initscripts volumeid Update Issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80248 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
