Could you post the results of the following command run in a terminal?

grep '^Date:' /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages

[Robert Roth (evfool)]

Marked as a duplicate of bug #622489, as this is the same bug. It is still present in Natty, as the fix has only been released to Oneiric, the current development version of Ubuntu.

@Robert, thank you!

@Brian, in case you still need the output:

I decided that I won't file a request for backport, since I don't have any direct use for ubuntu-support-status (do-release-upgrade doesn't use it, does it?). Eagerly awaiting 11.10. :)
