Confirmed: I see the same behaviour on a system that now runs 12.04 (Precise).
(I believe fkrull is right that this was a problem for quite a while already, but have never paid attention to it much, as more than 9 out of 10 upgrades I run out of aptitude) Desired behaviour: update-manager would play nice with M-flags, applying them to packages it upgrades, or installs as dependencies. Workaround for now: run aptitude full-upgrade instead. ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782763 Title: update-manager marks updated packages as "Manually installed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/782763/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
