Public bug reported: Notable, upon logging in, I get this message: ``` 3 packages can be updated. 1 update is a security update. ```
This is fairly misleading, since afaict, the three packages it's listing as "updated" are in fact "new installs" as opposed to "upgrades". However, that isn't the primary point of my bug report. I'm actually relying on that information via: /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check 2>&1|sed -e "s/;.*//" /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check 2>&1|sed -e "s/.*;//" So, I connect to the box and perform: `apt upgrade`: ``` Hit:1 http://us-east-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease Hit:2 http://us-east-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease Hit:3 http://us-east-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease Hit:4 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease Ign:5 http://debian.neo4j.org/repo stable/ InRelease Get:6 http://debian.neo4j.org/repo stable/ Release [1479 B] Get:7 http://debian.neo4j.org/repo stable/ Release.gpg [819 B] Hit:8 https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.0/ubuntu bionic InRelease Fetched 2298 B in 1s (4382 B/s) Reading package lists...

That newer version requires `openjdk-11-jre-headless`, so it added that to the list of things to install. That new package requires two additional packages (`libasound2` and `libasound2-data`). `apt` then discovers that this newer version of `cypher-shell` conflicts w/ a manually installed package (`neo4j`). It thus marks `cypher-shell` as `kept-back`, unfortunately, it doesn't discard its plans to install java11. For comparison, `apt-get upgrade` just recognizes that it shouldn't upgrade `cypher-shell`: `apt-get upgrade`: ``` Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Actual results: tries to install jre11 (it does succeed if I say yes, but that then breaks some customer software which we manually installed which doesn't like java11 -- that's a separate set of bugs, and they aren't packaged, so there's no guidance to apt telling it not to do that). ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "apport.apt.uanwo708.apport" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856613/+attachment/5313066/+files/apport.apt.uanwo708.apport -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856613 Title: apt upgrade wants to install openjdk-11-jre-headless without upgprading anything To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1856613/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
