Package: libconfigreader-simple-perl Version: 1.28-2 Severity: minor Hi,
Package: libconfigreader-simple-perl Architecture: all Version: 1.28-2 Conflicts: squidtaild (<< 0:2.1a6-5.4) Depends: perl Replaces: squidtaild (<< 0:2.1a6-5.4) You explicitly specified a zero epoch for the version of squidtaild. Dpkg automatically surpresses a 0 epoch as that is already implied if no epoch is given and saves dpkg from keeping an extra flag for its presence. Apt on the other hand uses the raw strings of the fields in a hash function which is then used to check if the available and installed package are the same. With dpkg dropping the zero epoch apt gets confused and considers the installed and available libconfigreader-simple-perl 1.28-2 to be different packages and wants to update it again and again. See Bug#574956. While we wait for the apt authors to device a fix for this please consider uploading a new package without needlessly specifying the zero epoch to avoid the problem.
