Mmmmh, this is caused by the fact that version 1:5.1.2-3~bpo8+1 is meant to be considered (and is indeed considered) as earliest than version 1:5.1.2-3 ... $ dpkg --compare-versions 1:5.1.2-3~bpo8+1 lt 1:5.1.2-3 && echo yes yes Back-port versions are built this way, in order to keep the upgrade path safe [1][2]. [1] http://backports.debian.org/FAQ/ [2] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f37 So, in a sense, the issue you experienced could be considered as inherent in the back-port policy. Maybe some special handling of back-port version numbers could be introduced in apt-listbugs, but I have to think about it a little bit. I would like to avoid introducing some subtle bug, by messing up with the version compare rules. I'll let you know, after I make up my mind.
