Package shown inside wrong group in tree view

[ariel cornejo]

Please see the attached screenshot. The package 'lsb-release' certainly should not be in the group for 'freecad' (which comes from a PPA, in case it matters).

[peter swain (swine)]

another case of a nesting that seems wrong - avahi & lvm2 inside Meld ???

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[James Womack (james-c-womack)]

Another example of incorrect/confusing nesting: GCC and systemd appearing beneath Google Chrome (from the dl.google.com repository).

[Mikkel Kirkgaard Nielsen (mikini)]

Attached another example of wrong grouping. Here 4 packages related to apt is shown as belonging to Skype (also a package from a PPA).

[Karl (karl875180)]

I can give another example (and not the first one I've seen).
The group is qbittorrent, but apt, libudev1, apt-utils, libapt-pkg6.0, libsystemd0 all aren't related at all.
qbittorrent comes from a PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable/ubuntu).
There are non-grouped libudev1:i386, libsystemd0:i386 and I had the impression before that the occurrence of both a native and a i386 package may be involved in the mis-grouping.

[Karl (karl875180)]

screenshot shows that in addition to the mis-grouping reported before, now (for me) firefox also has unrelated stuff grouped within it, on the other hand, I would have expected the firefox language pack to be grouped with firefox, which it isn't.
No PPA involed in the firefox mis-grouping, but libraries wrongly grouped have versions for i386 which are not grouped.

[Karl (karl875180)]

Screenshot shows:
Security: GStreamer and Samba patched grouped in Archive Manager,
Other: OpenLDAP grouped in Oracle VM VirtualBox (PPA)

[Karl (karl875180)]

I foirgot to write: I use focal, LXDE, update-manager version is 1:20.04.10.6

[Karl (karl875180)]

as attached, from today: grouping gnome-disk-utility wrongly contains libpam-modules, libpam0g, libpam-runtime (but not libpam-modules-bin, libpam0g:i386)

update-manager version: 1:20.04.10.7

[Karl (karl875180)]

Just now: libxml2, libhogweed5, libnettle7 wrongly grouped, firefox-locale-en wrongly ungrouped
all three wrongly grouped have i386 packages that are ungrouped
update-manager version 1:20.04.10.7

[Karl (karl875180)]

attached screenshot shows:
Security Updates:
wrongly grouped timezone data (tzdata) under Firefox Web Browser (firefox), wrongly ungrouped English language pack for Firefox (firefox-locale-en)
Other Updates:
wrongly grouped under virtualbox-6.1: alsa-ucm-conf, libpulse0
