Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 9.04
synaptic 0.62.5ubuntu3 from jaunty-updates
If Package A depends on a specific version of Package B, then
Choosing "Force Package version" on Package A will do nothing.
Choosing "Force Package version" on Package B will note that Package A must be
up/downgraded, but:
trying to apply changes will give an empty list "NOT AUTHENTICATED" and then,
on confirmation, display:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Unable to lock the download directory.
and all marked changes disappear.
Example packages: amarok depends on an equal version of amarok-common between
jaunty and jaunty-backports.
This occurs whether for an upgrade or a downgrade.
For some packages, this can be worked-around by removing and then installing
the desired version.
