I also find there's no mention of the option's purpose, either via tooltip, online help, man page, or on the website the online help leads to. Ubuntu does have a wiki page which explains the options, though:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How%20to%20keep%20your%20system %20up-to-date,%20including%20the%20Kernel I don't see evidence of an upstream bug tracker, though. Only the development mailing list, which looks pretty dead. ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- undocumented system upgrade option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
