Public bug reported:
I want to upgrade Ubuntu, but do-release-upgrade removes even locked-
version packages. The problem is certain packages, e.g. harpia and
shogun-octave, no longer exist in recent Ubuntu versions. I need those
packages. This makes upgrading impossible.
$ lsb_release -d
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
$ do-release-upgrade -d
raring.tar.gz
Packages to be removed: [...] harpia shogun-octave
Packages to be installed: [... harpia and shogun-octave not listed ...]
Packages to be upgraded: [... harpia and shogun-octave not listed ...]
I think packages with locked versions and their dependencies should be
left alone during an upgrade.
** Affects: update-manager-core (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
- do-release-upgrade removes even locked-version packages. Certain
- packages, e.g. harpia and shogun-octave, no longer exist in recent
- Ubuntu versions. This prevents me upgrading.
