Hi, My output for Micheal's requests ($ apt-cache show e2fsprogs, $ dpkg -p e2fsprogs and /etc/apt/sources.list) are attached.
Some background info: I use xubuntu 8.04 at the moment; Turkish locale. I am experiencing the same issue almost from the end of 2006 with Ubuntu 6.10 (see my forum entry: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283647 and bug report: Bug #68331 which is a duplicate of this bug), then with xubuntu 7.04 and then xubuntu 7.10 and finally with xubuntu 8.04 at the time being. >From xubuntu 7.04 to xubuntu 7.10 and from xubuntu 7.10 to xubuntu 8.04 I >performed distro upgrade via Web; I'm not sure if a clean install can solve >the issue or not. Once, I was having the issue was for three packages: e2fsprogs, initscripts and volumeid. At the moment volumeid package warning disappeared and the problem is valid for e2fsprogs and initscripts. The nature of the problem seems to differ slightly now in xubuntu 8.04: Once, just update manager was of1fering those packages but not synaptic.Now, synaptic as well offers the two packages in aweird way, such as: When I refresh synaptic database and ask to find updates, it doesn't show any package at the bottom but "apply" button is active as if there are something to apply. No matter if I click apply; it keeps on offering the same "apply" thing again and again, seems to download and install e2fsprogs and initscripts packages, to update them from the same version to the same version. I can supply you with screenshots and/or with further info if you have some specific questions.
