I'm a newcomer here, and to Linux. I just successfully upgraded an elderly Compaq desktop from 6.10 to 7.04. But the update manager keeps telling me there's an update to install: libpath-class-perl - but it wants to upgrade to the version already installed: 'from ver 0.51-1 to ver 0.51-1'. When I do the update, apparently successfully, the update manager continues to report that the package needs to be installed.
So I uninstalled it completely, and reinstalled ver 0.15-1 again, but Fiesty continues to signal that it should be updated. I've checked out the package in the apt cache, and the files themselves in the directories they're supposed to be in, and they're all installed, AFICS. But the update manager seems not to have logged this. I'm pretty much at the limits of my knowledge now, and I'd be very grateful if anyone was able to suggest a next step.
