Public bug reported: I have blocked some packages using "synaptic", to avoid an update or usage. Due to test the functions, only.
These packages are "brltty", "ubuntu-desktop" and some others. I deinstalled them and blocked them. But after starting the update-manager from panel-menu, I get an information, that there are beside normal updates, packages to install respectively to upgrade - the window for "system-upgrade" appears to handle the difference. The installation is a new one(alpha 1 netinstall) - not an upgrade.
