[Bug 2041845] Re: Notifies about some ancient downgrades on every boot

[Julian Andres Klode]

The messages in the screenshot seem to be from gnome-software which is a
third party software in universe and not part of the Ubuntu user
experience.

It's not clear why it would show downgrades to packages no longer in the
cache. gnome-software uses PackageKit so you may want to see if pkcon
get-updates shows the same issue.

** Package changed: update-notifier (Ubuntu) => gnome-software (Ubuntu)

** Also affects: packagekit (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: packagekit (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  Notifies about some ancient downgrades on every boot

Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Preparing for upgrade from 22.04 to 23.04 some packages were
  downgraded (or just marked as such?) and now update-notifier reminds
  me about them on every boot, this makes me likely to miss important
  upgrades available, because I tend now to dismiss it without looking.

  google-chrome-stable was upgraded many times since then, but I still
  get notifications about that 113.0... version. Btw, it says about
  downgrade from the current version!

  It's update-notifier/lunar,now 3.192.64 amd64
