Package: update-manager
Version: 0.42.2ubuntu22-11
Severity: critical
Hi,
My mother (who runs a pristine Etch desktop) complained today that her
machine was suddenly getting slow. After a restart, the X server refused
to run.
A bit of investigation over ssh showed that for a while, her machine was
not running Etch at all, but sid -- she's upgrading via update-manager
whenever it tells her to, and judging from the dpkg logs (doesn't
update-manager have any logs on its own?) it's been happily upgrading
her system to recent sid for a while.
Now, here's the interesting part: /etc/apt/sources.list does not contain
anything about unstable, nor sid. Nor does any apt package lists I've
been able to find, nor the software-properties applet. Yet, there were
hundreds of packages that needed manual downgrading, and dpkg.log does
indeed show upgrading from one sid version of xserver-xorg to another as
late as today.
For the time being, I've asked her to ignore update-manager, but I don't
think this is an acceptable sitution in etch. :-)

Hi,
Since I'm unable to reproduce the problem easily and don't have time to try
to force the system back into the state it was when the problem appeared, I'm
closing this bug. Hope it doesn't resurface for someone else :-)
