Subject: aptitude: Security update not considered if a newer version is available
Bcc: hexlaadmin at ispx2cproxy001.x2c.nl
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.11-7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I started aptitude in UI mode to see the available security updates.
Unfortunately, some security updates where missing when a newer version
of the package is available from another repository. For example the apt
package:
$apt-cache policy apt
apt:
Installed: 1.8.2.1
Candidate: 1.8.2.3
Version table:
1.8.2.3 500
500 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian buster-updates/main amd64 Packages
1.8.2.2 500
500 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
500 http://security.debian.org buster/updates/main amd64 Packages
500 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates/main amd64 Packages
*** 1.8.2.1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Aptitude did not show version 1.8.2.2 under the "Security Updates" heading, but only version 1.8.2.3 under de regular "Upgradable Packages" heading.
I do not regularly install all the updates from buster-updates, only certain packages after impact review.
Due to the miscategorisation of the security updates, they were not installed.
Suggested fix: Always show all security updates under the "Security Updates"
heading. If packages meet the above conditions, show them in both/multiple
sections, each with the corresponding package version.
