Public bug reported: If you visit https://popcon.ubuntu.com/ and download "universe" (https://popcon.ubuntu.com/universe/by_inst.gz) and "unknown" (https://popcon.ubuntu.com/unknown/by_inst) you will see that many packages which are in universe (e.g., git-annex) are not present in "universe" but rather in "unknown":

We know that it doesn't reflect reality since the number of "subscriptions" (downloads of our APT configuration lines) is dominated by Ubuntu boxes: http://neuro.debian.net/popularity.html#repository-subscriptions . So there is yet another mystery to be resolved. ** Affects: popularity-contest (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: neurodebian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1858446 Title: majority of packages get into "unknown" instead of e.g. universe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/popularity-contest/+bug/1858446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
