Public bug reported: Dunno, whether this one is related to the "Fix Released" one (#850482) but in the current version (1:0.152.25.4) the update manager refuses to update with the message: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'
The background is: I've re-installed two packages cnijfilter-common:i386 and cnijfilter-mp210series:i386 from package files cnijfilter- common_2.80-1_i386.deb and cnijfilter-mp210series_2.80-1_i386.deb, which depend on libcupsys2 and libpopd0. Thus installation only worked with sudo dpkg --force-architecture --force-depends -i cnijfilter- common_2.80-1_i386.deb and the other one, respectively (yes, they work). After the fist problems, that arouse from update-manager due to broken packages, which it would try to remove (though I wanna hold them, I marked them to be held using a file with these two packages marked to hold, by sudo dpkg --set-selections < dpkg-hold.txt Now, obviously they seem to be marked to be held, which seems to lead into trouble for update-manager, and to synaptic, as well, as it wouldn't install anything, without deciding, to remove these two packages. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883715 Title: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'
