Bug Description
Binary package hint: kpackagekit
In Lucid kpackagekit shows a fix in the wrong group from time to time. This is difficult to reproduce, because it depends on the package versions installed and on the package versions available from the repos. So in normal usage (i.e. if you don't downgrade packages) the same problem will never appear twice.
Today I happen to have the issue for linux-generic:
$ apt-cache policy linux-generic
linux-generic:
Installed: 2.6.32.24.25
Candidate: 2.6.32.25.27
Version table:
2.6.32.25.27 0
500 http://
*** 2.6.32.24.25 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
2.6.32.21.22 0
500 http://
$
The candidate version comes from lucid-updates, not from lucid security. Still kpackagekit shows it as a security fix. See attached screen shot. Note that the version numbers in kpackagekit are equal to those shown by apt-cache.
I will apport-collect this report ASAP in order to provide necessary version info.
