Package: apt Version: 1.6.4 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? $ sudo apt update&&apt list --upgradable [&&sudo apt upgrade -y] * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I did nothing to focus the situation but reporting now. * What was the outcome of this action? Several times (for 3 weeks now, estimating) the number of packages available differs from the number of packages upgradable. Today, it was 6 packages available but 5 ones upgradable, namely: glib-networking glib-networking-common glib-networking-services telegram-desktop tex-common * What outcome did you expect instead? Either $ sudo apt update gives 5 packages as available or $ apt list --upgradable gives the names of 6 packages which can be upgraded. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Sandbox ""; APT::Sandbox::User "_apt"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-modules-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-modules-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-modules-extra-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-modules-extra-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-headers-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-headers-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-modules-.*-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-modules-.*-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-cloud-tools-4\.17\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-cloud-tools-4\.17\.0-3-amd64$"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages ""; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image-extra"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-modules-extra"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-signed-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "gnumach-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-kernel"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-backports-modules-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-modules-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-tools"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-cloud-tools"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "contrib/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "non-free/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections ""; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "contrib/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "non-free/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i"; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "/usr/bin/test -e /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.service && /usr/bin/test -S /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket && /usr/bin/gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.PackageKit --object-path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit --timeout 4 --method org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged cache-update > /dev/null; /bin/echo > /dev/null"; APT::Periodic ""; APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.

In the screenshot attached is my today's software update check. The other file is mady with $ reportbug. Unfortunately it wasn't able to send via CLI, somehow. For now, I cannot say which numbers of packages from the following commands differ from each other, but the first two did differ several times: $ sudo apt update $ apt list --upgradable $ sudo apt upgrade -y Regards, Julian SchreckAttachment: bug - apt list --upgradable.png

"apt update" and "list" do count packages as upgradeable if a package is currently installed and a newer version from an acceptable source is available. "upgrade" and other solver strategies on the other hand try to install all these upgrades, but some might not be appliable together, require new packages or the remove of others and what not. Who knows which solver strategy you will be using for the actual upgrade, so what the listing options show are sort of an upper bound only. I don't think we can change much about it and – at least if you know the reason – it makes sense this way, so I think I have to close this bugreport as not a bug.
