Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

This issue is fixed in the development branch. Proposed for Karmic SRU:

requestsync doesn't see the latest upstream version number when a Debian package has multiple versions, e.g.:

TEST CASE: requestsync -s -d unstable x11vnc lucid
E: The versions in Debian and Ubuntu are the same already (0.9.8-2). Aborting.

... yet Debian unstable currently lists 0.9.9-1 (and other versions, including 0.9.8-2).

Using requestsync --lp does work around the problem, but the error message doesn't indicate such.

Accepted ubuntu-dev-tools into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I can no longer reproduce the problem as originally reported, because the x11vnc package no longer lists multiple versions at Debian, nor was I able to locate any other package in that state. (Note also the very recent activity on the possibly related Debian bug #559863 -- this issue may have been addressed at the Debian API level as well).

requestsync from ubuntu-dev-tools from karmic-proposed seems to work no worse as well as it did before, anyway.

You might be able to use "openal-soft" as a test-case.

$ rmadison -u debian -a source -s unstable openal-soft
openal-soft | 1:1.9.563-1 | unstable | source
openal-soft | 1:1.11.753-1 | unstable | source

$ rmadison -s lucid openal-soft
openal-soft | 1:1.11.753-0ubuntu1 | lucid/universe | source

Thanks Michael! Confirmed: The reported bug does occur with the 'openal-soft' package when using the old requestsync, but no longer occurs when using the new requestsync from ubuntu-dev-tools (0.81.2).

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.81.2

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.81.2) karmic-proposed; urgency=low

  * Backporting fixes from Lucid to fix problem: requestsync does not see
    latest Debian version when multiple versions present (LP: #503111):
    - pull-debian-source: Return the most recent source line. Depend on
      libapt-pkg-perl for the Debian version comparison required for this.
    - ubuntutools/requestsync/mail.py: rmadison() returns now the most recent
      source line.
