Public bug reported:
My OS: Ubuntu Edgy Eft RC (I hope its RC yet, last updated today (24
October 2006). I used to use Ubuntu 6.06 and had 6.10 via Web upgrade.
Seems to be an update-manager and/or Synaptic issue
The problem is as follows:
When I am warned about the updates automatically by means of that orange button
appearing on the uppermost Gnome panel, I click on it and proceed the update.
At the beginning the orange warning button warned me that there are 1 updates
to be installed. (This was today's case: just something like ubuntu-docs.)
After the installation successfully done, that update window refreshes itself
in some way as usual. After that, the same window (Re-translating the title of
the window from Turkish to English: Software Updates, You can install 3
updates, Distribution updates) tells and advices me to install some more
updates. How and why did they appear? Below are the list of software
automatically checked and asking me to be installed:
e2fsprogs
>From version 1.39-1 to 1.39-1
initscripts
>From version 2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu16 to 2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu16
volumeid
>From version 093-0ubuntu18 to 093-0ubuntu18
As its obvious, each of them have the same version codes regarding
"from" and "to" info.
And what's more: Below of that window there is a section for more info on the
to-be-updated software. For those three checked/proposed to-be-installed
software, that window's "changes and update info" section's "changes" tab
states (when you select any of them by clicking on) -again re-translating from
Turkish- as follows:
"The list of the changes is not accessible"
On that update info window, there are some more software listed but they
are not checked/proposed to be installed. If it may be useful, these
are;
hpijs, python-adns, python-clientcookie, python-crypto, python-egenix,
mxdatetime, python-egenix-mxproxy, python-egenix-mxstack, python-egenix,
mxtexttools, python-gadfly, python-htmlgen, python-htmltmpl, python-
imaging, python-imaging-sane, python-jabber, python-kjbuckets, python-
Idap, python-mysqldb, python-pam, python-pexpect, python-pgsql, python-
pylibacl, python-pyopenssl, python-pyxattr, python-reportlab, python-
simpletal, python-soappy, python-sqlite, python-syck, python-xmpp.
For those automatically unchecked ones update version codes seem to be
real, at least "from"s and "to"s codes are different and I can see some
info on "changes and update info" section "changes" tab when I click on
any of them.
Up to this point I doubt that those update offers are not "valid" in
some way. To test it, I close that window without installing those
"updates", open Synaptic and ask for choosing "all changes" without
refreshing it, Synaptic still offers me those three:
e2fsprogs
initscripts
volumeid
I say "cancel" and then refresh Synaptic. It does so. After all package
info are downloaded, I again say "select all updates". Result: No
updates to be applied available!
What expected: No more update warning after all offered by that orange
button are installed. If -for some reason- there are really more
updates, those should be seen after refreshing Synaptic, as well.
Reproducable or not: I don't know what to do in order to reproduce the
situation, but as I remember I had the same issue some time ago with
again Edgy Eft but before RC, during the last phases of Beta.
