Re: PPA package listed as upgrade when same version is installed

[Siegfried-Angel <siggi.gevatter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I read about something like this yesterday... It seems that there's a
bug in Soyuz that strips certain control fields (like Pre-Depends and
I don't remember which others), and this makes apt believe that the
installed file and that one in the repositories is a different one.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/165230

I hope this helps,
