It's confusing but the first message shows you how many packages have a newer candidate version and can be upgraded for no other reason which maps directly to upgradable both --upgradable and ?upgradable, and changing that to exclude phased updates would be a strange ABI break. Note that people do use install ?upgradable to upgrade packages that are phasing.
We don't have a good answer here, there is a wider conflict between upgradable and will-be-upgraded, not just for phasing but also for packages missing dependencies, or packages conflicting with installed ones, and it's good to be aware that not all upgradable packages can or will actually be upgraded. All of these cases are more complex than the phased case, and we can't handle them, so I'm wary of watering down the distinction we have now for that one special case and potentially break people. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2093416 Title: 7 packages can be upgraded is printed, when they cannot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2093416/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
