Package: apt Version: 0.6.43.3 Severity: normal mailman currently has a version number of, literally, "0:2.1.8-1". apt's handling of this is decidedly strange. Quoting the user who first reported the issue on debian-user, Dave Carrigan <dave@rudedog.org>: > I'm not sure if this is a problem with mailman or dpkg, but apt continually > wants to upgrade mailman, even though I'm at the most recent version: > > # apt-get -s upgrade > Reading package lists... Done > Building dependency tree... Done > The following packages will be upgraded: > mailman > 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. > Inst mailman [2.1.8-1] (0:2.1.8-1 Debian:unstable) > Conf mailman (0:2.1.8-1 Debian:unstable) Notice that apt is sometimes showing the epoch and sometimes not. > # apt-cache policy mailman > mailman: > Installed: 2.1.8-1 > Candidate: 0:2.1.8-1 > Version table: > 0:2.1.8-1 0 > 500 http://debian-mirror.mirror.umn.edu unstable/main Packages > 0:2.1.7-2.1.8rc1-1 0 > 500 http://debian-mirror.mirror.umn.edu testing/main Packages > *** 2.1.8-1 0 > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status > 2.1.5-8sarge2 0 > 500 http://debian-mirror.mirror.umn.edu stable/main Packages And again, the pattern seems to be that it thinks version 2.1.8-1 is installed, stripping off the 0:, since 0 is the default epoch if none is specified. But it doesn't do this for the candidate version, so the two versions fail to compare. > # dpkg-deb -I /var/cache/apt/archives/mailman_0%3a2.1.8-1_i386.deb | > grep '^ Version' > Version: 0:2.1.8-1 > # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/mailman_0%3a2.1.8-1_i386.deb | grep > '^ Version' > <snip successful install> > # dpkg --status mailman | grep ^Version > Version: 2.1.8-1 > # apt-get -s upgrade > Reading package lists...

I second that, and I'm also seeing the problem here, apt upgrades mailman every time I upgrade, and the version is always 0:2.1.8-1. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10"; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; DPkg::Tools ""; DPkg::Tools::Options ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges::Version "2"; DPkg::Post-Invoke ""; DPkg::Post-Invoke:: "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums --generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi"; Acquire ""; Acquire::http ""; Acquire::http::Proxy "/"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main # deb file:/home/joey/lib/debian/ local/ # deb file:/home/joey/lib/debian/ unstable/ # deb http://kitenet.net/~joey/debian/ unstable/ deb http://uqm.debian.net/ unstable/ deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free #deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free #deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-1+b1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-1+b1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii debian-archive-keyring 2006.01.18 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a -- no debconf information -- see shy joAttachment: signature.asc
