[Bug 408382] [NEW] apt-show-versions shows wrong release

[Mario Schwalbe]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt-show-versions


Hi,

I added the karmic repository to a jaunty installation and set its
priority to 1 (similar to debian experimental). Hence, apt installs and
upgrades using jaunty/jaunty-updates/jaunty-security packages.

For instance, cupsys:
# apt-cache policy cupsys
cupsys:
  Installed: 1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2
  Candidate: 1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2
  Version table:
     1.3.11-1 0
          1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
 *** 1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.3.9-17ubuntu3.1 0
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/universe Packages
     1.3.9-17ubuntu1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages

However, apt-show-versions shows:
# apt-show-versions | grep cupsys
cupsys/karmic *manually* upgradeable from 1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2 to 1.3.11-1
[..]

This is true for all upgraded packages. But it should show jaunty
instead. Or jaunty-updates/jaunty-security. But not karmic to allow to
list packages that were really installed from karmic.

for reference:
# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release:      9.04

# apt-cache policy apt-show-versions
apt-show-versions:
  Installed: 0.15
  Candidate: 0.15
  Version table:
     0.16 0
          1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
 *** 0.15 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
