Title:
  When I lock a package through synaptic, update manager says 1 update
  is selected, but it is not and cannot be updated

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I locked a version of a package through synaptic (it's a ppa version
  with a patch I use and I do not want it to be overriden by regular
  updates) like this:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=lockver.png

  Now, when I do an update through update-manager says "1 update has
  been selected. 87 KB will be downloaded." However, it is not true, as
  nothing will be updated when I click "Install updates". Moreover,
  wrong information is displayed in "Description of update" (see
  screenshot - I have already upgraded flash, the package I hold is
  xorg-something).

  Steps to reproduce: 
  1. Lock a package that has an updated version in repositories
  2. Run update manager and update everything

  What happens:
  2. See above, wrong information is displayed

  What should happen:
  1. Update manager should say there are no updates available (if I held a package, I want it held so I do not want updates, do not nag me about it. And if you are to nag me about it, at leas say what you are nagging about:-)).
