That's fine, it was a misunderstanding due to some people having implemented a
workaround to the issue that caused trouble with the updates. They just need to
revert their workaround and the update should do its job properly.

Nothing strange about that, just that some of us only have time available for
one release. I did Maverick, someone else did Lucid, and well, someone will have
to do Karmic, but nobody has gotten around to it yet.

As for the dependency issue, now that everything has been copied over
to-updates, it should get updated automatically if you had not disabled updates
on your Lucid/Maverick system.

If you find this strange, rather than posting that you find it strange, how
about updating the bug description?
