Why does apticron ignore held packages? Wouldn't one want to know about security updates even for packages that are in the held state?
In my case in particular I certainly do. I have been keeping all installed packages on hold in order to cause more confirmation prompting from non-interactive aptitude when I install something. (I _think_ it affects aptitude, although I haven't check that in a while.) Daniel -- (Plain text sometimes corrupted to HTML "courtesy" of Microsoft Exchange.) [F]
