Something like 'Serious'. Package is broken, it doesn't
do what the name implies.
"Actually, this is the expected behavior."
No, it is not. When I noticed the orange ball wasn't appearing
when login tells me I have 60 packages upgradeable I went directly to
the Debian BTS to find out why not. I didn't 'expect' not to be
notified of updates.
"Ubuntu decided to just
run update-manager"
I'm running Debian, not Ubuntu. I like the ability to
1. See that updates are available
2. Open update-manager by clicking on the orange ball
3. Review the change logs of the packages and sometimes
peruse the bugs reports by clicking on the links.
#2 and has been broken for some time (but that's an update-manager bug),
hence #3 is not possible, and now #1 doesn't work. We seem to be
rapidly going backwards with respect to the maintenance environment.
