W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
We should let them know that they don’t affect them, unless of course they want to install the packages mentioned.
This would save some time of support in tails-bugs and irc

IIRC this problem will go away in Tails 2.0 (Jessie). If someone works on it anyway, when merging it into master, please also merge into feature/jessie and revert in there.

- Status changed from New to Resolved
We’re in Tails Jessie now and I couldn’t reproduce this with one run of apt-get update. Marking this as resolved then.
