[Bug 1533554] Re: Duplicate package entries shown when listing by package origin

[Norbert]

Got this bug in Origin view on Ubuntu Xenial with all updates installed.

It seems that bug in Debian is the same - see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864654 .
Should we report this bug to upstream? Where is its upstream?

Title:
  Duplicate package entries shown when listing by package origin

Status in synaptic:
  Unknown
Status in apt-xapian-index package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in synaptic package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Synaptic  0.83 (also was in 0.82.5 I believe)

  - Ubuntu Xenial

  What should happen:

  Synaptic should as previously show a single item for each package when
  viewing package list from a particular 'origin'.

  What does happen:

  For many packages up to 4 identical entries are shown for each
  package. See attached screencap.

  Duplicate list items are quite literally identical and are true
  duplicates as they relate to the identical package in all respects,
  including full version. In fact, so much so, that selecting one of a
  duplicate for an operation such as install/upgrade/remove etc selects
  and then operates on all the duplicate entries as well.

  Same problem has been noted on a real machine and in VM running
  variants of Xenial - Xubuntu/Kubuntu etc, with or with any ppas
  present on system.
