GNOME Software should not notify about held package(s) as an available update. Maybe it shouldn't list held packages in the Updates page either. + [Impact] + GNOME Software shows .deb packages marked as held as updatable. - GNOME Software does not actually upgrade held packages but it's - confusing that it looks like it's going to. + [Test Case] + 1. Hold a package that is available for update, e.g. + $ sudo apt-mark hold gnome-calculator + 2. Open GNOME Software + 3. Click on Updates tab - Update Manager shows held packages in the update list but they are - unchecked (and unable to be checked). + Expected result: + Held package(s) are not shown - [Original Bug Description] - ========================== - I have a held package, and gnome-software keeps popping up the "upgrades are available" notification. Looking at it what it wants to upgrade, there is only the held package. I haven't clicked 'install' to see if it will actually do so, but held packages should not be upgraded by gnome-software. + Observed result: + Held package(s) are shown - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 - Package: gnome-software 3.20.1+git20160419.2.b8d2e40.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 - Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 - Architecture: amd64 - CurrentDesktop: GNOME - Date: Thu Apr 21 07:10:17 2016 - EcryptfsInUse: Yes - InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-08-21 (243 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Alpha amd64 (20150819) - ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm-256color - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: gnome-software - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-02-16 (64 days ago) + [Regression potential] + Low.
