I just want to add that it also does not know how to handle held packages. I currently have the MongoDB PPA added to my system and explicitly held the 3.0.10 packages for the M102 course I just completed.
This is normally done with: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org=3.0.10 mongodb-org-server=3.0.10 mongodb-org-shell=3.0.10 mongodb-org-mongos=3.0.10 mongodb-org-tools=3.0.10 echo "mongodb-org hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "mongodb-org-server hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "mongodb-org-shell hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "mongodb-org-mongos hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "mongodb-org-tools hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back: mongodb-org mongodb-org-mongos mongodb-org-server mongodb-org-shell mongodb-org-tools 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded. If a package is held, it shouldn't really be counted as 1 update in gnome-software and possibly skipped. At the moment, it tries to update the packages, reloads then just shows them again as an update. ** Attachment added: "gnome-software.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1575351/+attachment/4657970/+files/gnome-software.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575351 Title: tell me I have OS updates and will not install said updates.
