Public bug reported: On precise, if you get packages in dpkg "in" state (to install, not installed), update-manager will only test that package as to install and ignore all the other options:
easy steps to reproduce: - install a -dbgsym package which has a conflict -dbg in the normal archive (i.e nautilus-dbgsym) - wget the -dbg - sudo dpkg -i dbg.deb (which conflicts) - sudo apt-get -f install you get in the broken state ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/913715 Title: update-manager gets confused by packages in "in" state To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/913715/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
