UpgradeStatus: in bug-reports wrong

[Thomas Bechtold]

I filled a new bug with ubuntu-bug (lp:918371) and i think the information collected from apport about the "UpgradeStatus" is not correct. it's written:

UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-01-13 (4 days ago)

but i upgraded to precise in 2011-12 and did the last "apt-get upgrade" 1 hour ago.

What does "UpgradeStatus" mean? Maybe this is a question if the UpgradeStatus: i correct.

UpgradeStatus is not when you first upgraded to a release but rather when you last did. When you are running the development release multiple distribution upgrades through out its life cycle.

I upgraded to oneiric 2012-01-09. After some time i update muon and have some bugs, in result of this bugs i disabled checking new versions of ubuntu in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and forgot this. Yesterday i tried to upgrade to precise, but do-release-upgrade and kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade does not work. I make changes in /etc/apt/sources.list and upgrade ubuntu by using apt-get dist-upgrade. Now i have "UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-01-09 (88 days ago)".

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

I can confirm, that this bug is still present in Ubuntu 15.10: Upon system start, a crash of 'mediascanner-service-2.0' was reported, and the crash dialog claimed that mediascanner package was never upgraded since Ubuntu 11.04, which was the Ubuntu version originally installed when I got my laptop. Obviously I did all the upgrades all the way up to 15.10 in the meantime, and synaptic confirmed that the 15.10 version of mediascanner-2.0 is installed. The file /usr/bin/mediascanner-service-2.0 is shown in the contents of mediascanner-2.0 package, and the actual file shows a change date of September 2015, so it obviously didn't come with Ubuntu 11.04.
