It's not feasible for `apt update` to know how many packages can be upgraded because it would need to calculate an upgrade to be able to figure that what has been kept back. We don't want to do that really.
What we can do is hide phased updates from the count, however, keep in mind that this creates an assymetry with the "?upgradable" pattern and the "--upgradable" option: Phased updates *are* upgradable. You may for example want to use `apt install ?upgradable` to force an upgrade of all upgradable packages even the ones that are being phased. So we wound not want to have a different upgradable count between that and the apt update count, so we are a bit lost. The "0/36" is a bit confusing too because it seems like you only installed 36 packages in total. So the "kept back" call we can't show either because it may include other kept back packages that you need to calculate the upgrade for. This can be solved cleanly at some point when phasing moves back to the policy but that requires Launchpad to retain previous fully phased package versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2171957 Title: apt update says that packages can be updated, but all of those are phased To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2171957/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
