Public bug reported: Over in : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server-lts- utopic/+bug/1462308 I got a message starting:
Thank you for your report! However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system at the time of the report: outdated debug symbol package for libudev1: package version 204-5ubuntu20.12 dbgsym version 204-5ubuntu20 outdated debug symbol package for libfreetype6: package version 2.5.2-1ubuntu2.4 dbgsym version 2.5.2-1ubuntu2 no debug symbol package found for libbz2-1.0 outdated debug symbol package for libcgmanager0: package version 0.24-0ubuntu7.3 dbgsym version 0.24-0ubuntu5 Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still encounter the crash, please file a new report. Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience! ----- Which seemed fair enough to me until I took a closer look at the packages. I noticed that I had not packages to update: I have just done an update and then $ sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade. That I had not updated any of the listed packages recently (based on /var/log/apt/histroy) and that I had rebooted at 14:00 the previous day which was long after the last time I was asked to reboot following and update. Looking at those numbers it seems that the dbgsm system has dropped the lesser digits and then said I was out of date? I think there is possibly a bug with that. I am raising this ticket to check if those numbers are equivalent and the apport system is dropping the last digits off the version number and getting confused. ** Affects: xorg-server-lts-utopic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1462327 Title: Apport retracing service says my packages are out of date but shows very similar version numbers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server-lts-utopic/+bug/1462327/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
