I've been using Ubuntu since Warty or Breezy, and I have had very few incidents of an update breaking the system. I think an update in Hardy broke the X server once. Getting to the point - this phased update system had me thinking something had gone horribly wrong with apt and the package database. Maybe the cure is not worse than the problem, but it appears to be.
I would suggest that, as we now have apt messages: # News about significant security updates, features and services will # appear here to raise awareness and perhaps tease /r/Linux ;) # Use 'pro config set apt_news=false' to hide this and future APT news. May be added to the news could be something about phased updates such as: # You may see packages being held back as part of phased updates - these packages are being held back to ensure system stability. # If you want to turn off phased updates, create a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d, containing the following lines: Update-Manager::Always-Include-Phased-Updates; APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988819 Title: When apt keeps back packages due to phased updates, it should say nothing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1988819/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
