[Bug 75332] Re: Held back packages not ignored by update-manager

[Bug 75332] Re: Held back packages not ignored by update-manager
TRIAGED: as mentioned earlier, if you use the the "dpkg --set-selections" method (see 7.12 at http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html) to put a package on hold, instead of the "aptitude hold " command. Then the update-manager will successfully ignore future upgrades for that package, the update-notifier will also no longer warn about available upgrades for those packages that have been put on hold. extra information: it seems though that the concept of putting a package on hold in the dpkg-way is different from the aptitude way. for example, after putting a package on hold using "dpgk --set-selections", I can then proceed to run "aptitude unhold" after which aptitude will again try to upgrade the package when running "aptitude safe-upgrade". however running "dpkg --get-selections" shows that the package is still marked as hold, and both "apt-get upgrade" and the update-manager are still ignoring it. thus it seems that aptitude is at fault here for not playing nicely with the update-manager/dpkg/apt-get, which is kind of weird since aptitude is recommended as the preferred way to administer your system. long story short, the bug as was posted is triaged, but maybe a new bugreport should be posted regarding this anomalous behaviour of aptitude :-s -- Held back packages not ignored by update-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
