I can confirm that. What seems to be happening is that some packages (in my case linux-image- 2.6.32- 23-virtual) are not in lucid pocket but only in lucid-updates but ubuntu- support- status checks them all against lucid pocket: ubuntu- support- status) filename_ for_pkg( cache, pkgname,
"Ubuntu" , CODENAME)
(from /usr/bin/
# try to figure out the support dates of the release and make
# sure to look only for stuff in "Ubuntu" and "distro_codename"
# (to exclude stuff in ubuntu-updates for the support time
# calculation because the "Release" file time for that gets
# updated regularly)
releasef = get_release_
in this case get_release_ filename_ for_pkg returns None and so does the following call to get_release_ date_from_ release_ file. Because of that time_t is unset and exception raised.
