[Bug 581886] Re: PackageKit does not respect hold state of packages.
I think this issue is fixed, as we use the APTcc backend by default in Ubuntu and Debian and actions are simulated before an upgrade is performed.

[Bug 581886] Re: PackageKit does not respect hold state of packages.
The apt backend performs a safe upgrade by default and additionally tries to detect upgrades which would only require the installation of further packages but not the removal of those. This methods makes it impossible to detect packages which are set on hold on the dpkg level, since apt doesn't provide information why an upgrade was skipped from the safe upgrade. The aptcc backend doesn't perform a safe upgrade but a full upgrade to detect the updates. Since there isn't any simulate method for a system upgrade it is very dangerous of the aptcc backend to report upgrades as installable without having the possibilty to inform the user about the required removal of packages. The best fix would be to have a simualte method for the upgrade_system method. -- PackageKit does not respect hold state of packages. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581886 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
