Here's the scenario. apt-get upgrade shows you a bunch of packages which aren't upgradable because its newer version got some more dependencies. Example: You had package a.1 installed on your system. The testing repository now has a.2 which has an additional dependency b.1 Now when you manually say apt to install package a.2, it also downloads the new dependency packages b.1. If you have apt-listbugs installed, and you find that there's a bug filed against b.1 which is fixed in b.2 which currently is in testing, a user normally says 'N' and aborts the installation to wait till b.2 propagates to testing. All fine till here. Doing the same thing in adept doesn't work. Adept informs you that package a.1 has an upgrade available. It also shows that b.1 needs be installed. The user hits, "Fetch" button. Adept downloads the package, runs apt-listbugs, then waits for the user intervention for the bugs listed. Again as a user you say 'N', but adept *ignores* the 'N' you passed and proceeds ahead with installation of the vulnerable b.1 package I hope I've made the bug report clear.
