Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.76
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I'm using apt-listbugs with u-a to avoid severe breakage due to RC bugs.
However, if one or more packages have new RC bugs this will make u-a
abort the upgrade for any package.
I think u-a should just ignore these packages and upgrade all the others.
This should be done the same way other packages are hold back due to
other conditions like upgrading will require removing other packages.
Also, this is probably the current action for blacklisted packages.
For example, libswt-gtk-3-java cannot be currently installed/upgrade and
has a RC bug on this. This also breaks all eclipse packages which will
also need to be ignored. But all others can be upgraded.
| root@frost:~# apt-get upgrade
| The following packages have been kept back:
| eclipse eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde eclipse-platform [..]
| [..]
| 95 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded.
Thanks
