[Bug 206555] Re: Upgradable (upstream) not defined

[Michael Vogt]

Thanks for your bugreport and thanks to Robert for the proposed fix.

The difference between the "normal" upgradable and the "upgradable
(upstream)" is that the former counts every package. But the later will
omit version that only differ in the debian/uubntu revision.

E.g.
1.0-2 -> 1.0-3 is upgradable but not in the upgradable (upstream) filter.

Its a bit tricky to find a short string describing the difference.

Title:
  Upgradable (upstream) not defined

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  Unbuntu version 7.10
  Synaptic 0.60ubuntu5

  I didn't understand the meaning of (upstream) in the context of "upgradable (upstream)".
  I found no expanation of this term in Synaptic help.

  It is an ambiguous and unneeded qualifier. Unless there is an
  alternative form of "upgradable" such as (downstream) or (yellow-
  brick-road), why not simply drop the reference?
