Partial Update Fun

[airbornemist6]

Essentially, these packages have been under partial update since I was using Hardy in Alpha 4 or 5 (don't remember which) and I'm really getting kind of annoyed, anyone know of any problems with them?

f-spot
grub
initramfs-tools
linux-generic
linux-headers-generic
linux-image-generic
linux-restricted-modules-generic
udev
xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg-video-amd
xulrunner-1.9
xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support

Most of these seem like important updates and I'm rather worried about the prospect of leaving them to gather dust, as about 4 of them are already 3 or more versions behind.

I have the same problems, though mine are mainly with AWN. As far as I understand it, (and I don't think it's further than I can hurl a 50Kg boulder), these packages are yet to make it to the Hardy repositories and hence they are not yet available for upgrade. So... keep on partial upgrading.

If I'm wrong, I welcome "polite" corrections.

Actually, if it reports that there is a new version, last time I checked, that meant it actually IS in the repositories.

shameless bump.../more info

I've now uninstalled them and reinstalled them 3 times... no dice
