package archive inconsistent
 

Hi,

when installing the vmware-player package 1:2.0.2-1~ppa5 from
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cschieli/ubuntu gutsy main

the apt system tries to reinstall the very same package as an update again
and again.

The reason for that is that the entry in the Packages file of the
archive differs from the
control file included in the package.

regards
Hadmut

Sounds like https://launchpad.net/bugs/152317

PPA has nothing to do with MOTU - please don't report their bugs here.

To go a bit further, it's nothing to do with Ubuntu at all. 3rd party repositories are
completely unsupported even when they happen to be hosted on the same
service Ubuntu uses.

Well, then the question is why the control of that particular package tells

Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>

(How should one recognize that this is wrong and that reports are not to
be sent
to this address?)

It's a bug, and I thought it got fixed a couple of months ago. When was
this package built?

I'd suggest that the fact that it's a launchpad.net address for the archive
and not ubuntu.com could tell you that. I agree it's a very subtle point for
people who aren't involved in Ubuntu development.
