After making that change to your change, I can confirm that unattended-upgrades no longer claims apache2 is held back: Packages that are upgraded: apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common Package installation log: (Reading database ... 29027 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace apache2 2.2.16-6+squeeze1 (using .../apache2_2.2.16-6+squeeze3_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement apache2 ...

[...] Arguably, ideally apache2 would be listed in the "Packages that are upgraded" section. However, I appreciate that at least it no longer appears in a "kept back" section, and the full log does mention apache2 being upgraded. So, I'd be happy for this bug to be closed when that typo is fixed. Thanks, Iain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
