Package: gnome-packagekit Version: 3.4.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
gnome-packagekit ignores my aptitude settings and updates packages which i have put on hold. I would have expected that either the package in question, libcairo2, is grayed out, not available for an upgrade or perhaps that gnome-packagekit presents some alternative ways to unhold/hold the package or to inform the user about possible consequences. ---How you can reproduce the bug--- 1. Downgrade libcairo2 1.12 to version 1.10 in squeeze-backports. 2. aptitude hold libcairo2 3. Open gnome-packagekit. 4. If you perform an upgrade even packages on hold will be upgraded. The interesting part is gnome-packagekit installs a newer version of libcairo2 but still puts the package on hold. Depending on how important the package in question is this could lead to surprising effects. I have found a three year old upstream bug report which describes the same issue. [1] Perhaps you should consider to reopen it.
