In my opinion it is a valid use-case to only want the minimum amount of package changes by only enabling -security. I also think it is a reasonable expectation that upgrades should not fail when it is possible to achieve that. A possible solution (just in case this hasn't been addressed anyway already, I don't know) could be to automatically enable -updates before distribution upgrades when package changes are made anyway.
-- update-manager should make sure that it is uptodate before a dist-upgrade even if edgy-updates is not available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107000 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
