Comment 29 for bug 80248

Hello,

I am a Turkish Kubuntu user, and I have had this problem since at
least Kubuntu 6.10. I have upgraded from 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04
and this problem has persisted. The only difference is that the packages
that are shown to be ready for upgrade are: e2fsprogs, initscripts and
nfs-kernel-server.

Here's something new: When one forces apt to refresh its package
caches, the problem does not show up until the next time updated
packages are released by (K)ubuntu.

Here's how I force apt to refresh its package cache:
    sudo rm -vf /var/cache/apt/*.bin
    sudo apt-get update

If needed, I can post my "/var/cache/apt/*.bin" files before and after
apt's package cache files are refreshed.

Regards,
