Why does Kubuntu have different repository priorities than Ubuntu?
In Kubuntu I have toady:
$ apt-cache policy linux-generic
linux-generic:
Installed: 2.6.32.23.24
Candidate: 2.6.32.23.24
Version table:
*** 2.6.32.23.24 0
500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.6.32.22.23 0
500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages
2.6.32.21.22 0
500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
Means security and updates have the same priority (500) the newer version wins.
In Ubuntu security has priority 990 and updates 900. So the older 2.6.32.22.23 from security kernel wins over the the newer kernel 2.6.32.23.24 from updates.
Can anybody explain whether this difference is intended? What would be the motivation?
I shouldn't have any package pins affecting these choices.
