Package: apt
Version: 1.6.4
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
   * What led up to the situation?
 $ sudo apt update&&apt list --upgradable [&&sudo apt upgrade -y]
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
 I did nothing to focus the situation but reporting now.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
 Several times (for 3 weeks now, estimating) the number of packages available differs from the number of packages upgradable. Today, it was  6 packages available but 5 ones upgradable, namely: glib-networking glib-networking-common glib-networking-services telegram-desktop tex-common
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
 Either $ sudo apt update gives 5 packages as available or $ apt list --upgradable gives the names of 6 packages which can be upgraded.

Dear all,
apt has a varying number of upgradable packages for some weeks already. In the screenshot attached is my today's software update check. The other file is mady with $ reportbug. Unfortunately it wasn't able to send via CLI, somehow.
For now, I cannot say which numbers of packages from the following commands differ from each other, but the first two did differ several times:

$ sudo apt update
$ apt list --upgradable
$ sudo apt upgrade -y

Regards,
 Julian Schreck

"apt update" and "list" do count packages as upgradeable if a package is
currently installed and a newer version from an acceptable source is
available.

"upgrade" and other solver strategies on the other hand try to install
all these upgrades, but some might not be appliable together, require
new packages or the remove of others and what not.

Who knows which solver strategy you will be using for the actual
upgrade, so what the listing options show are sort of an upper bound
only.


I don't think we can change much about it and – at least if you know the
reason – it makes sense this way, so I think I have to close this
bugreport as not a bug.


Best regards
