I am running simply_modern (downloaded through CVS) using Drupal 6.13 and in the "available updates" screen the version shows up as 6.13 and the theme is marked as "incompatible".

Any idea why the correct version isn't showing up and whether there is an incompatibility?

One thing I noticed is that simply_modern.info refers to "sidebar_left" and "sidebar_right" and I thought I read that Drupal 6 expects "left" and "right" now.

For what it's worth, I have the same problem with the latest version of Newsflash.

That's caused by the data in the theme's .info file (see http://drupal.org/node/487840).

Update status will not work on modules/themes downloaded via CVS because the version, core, project name and timestamp will only be added by the packaging script i.e. the simply_modern.info in CVS and in .tar.gz package are not the same.

to solve the problem in #1 I recommend CVS Deploy

I am running CVS deploy. It does not appear to be sufficient to avoid getting a message that the theme is incompatible. I'm guessing there is something in the theme or in the way it is packaged in CVS that is making it appear incompatible.
