---------------
update-manager (1:0.169) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * Drop Unity-support gir Recommends down to Suggests. LP: #1029764

  [ sampo555 ]
  * lp:~sampo555/update-manager/fix-for-1031280:
    - Convert SystemError into string in order to avoid TypeError in
      UpdateManager.refresh_cache SystemError handles. Fixes LP: #1031280

  [ Robert Park ]
  * Allow test suite to not need to be run as root

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * lp:~mvo/update-manager/phased-updates:
    - Implement the client part of the "foundations-q-phased-updates".
      This allows to deploy updates in phases where only a subset of
      the users will get a update, controlled via the
      Phased-Updates-Percentage tag in the Packages file.

Title:
  update-manager seems to have an unnecessary recommends on
  gir1.2-unity-5.0

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “update-manager” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This pulls in libunity9 and some dependent libraries that seemingly
  aren't needed unless you're running unity or a service that acts in a
  similar fashion.  If this assessment is correct, could that Recommends
  be reduced to a Suggests?

  Quoting from Debian Policy 7.2:

  Recommends

      This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.

      The Recommends field should list packages that would be found
  together with this one in all but unusual installations.
