[Bug 897268] [NEW] Deselected updates do not remain deselected if you check for updates after deselecting them

[Justin Lynn]

Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu 10.10 and update-manager version 0.142.23 (Package version
1:0.142.23).

Steps to reproduce:
*) Have update-manager prompt you to update some packages (by default all packages are selected for update)
*) Deselect some packages for update (uncheck the checkbox to the left of the package)
*) Click on the "Check" button (alt-k shortcut key)

What happened:
After the update check is completed, packages which were deselected (unchecked) are now selected again (checked).

What was expected to happen:
After the update check is completed, packages which were deselected remain deselected. Packages depending on the packages which were deselected are also deselected if their dependencies cannot be met while keeping the user's update opt-out.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
