[Bug 913719] Re: gets confused by packages in the dpkg "in" state

[Michael Vogt]

This appears to be a pretty common problem on dev boxes. I mark this for
precise, we may need to back out this code.

Title:
  gets confused by packages in the dpkg  "in" state

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

Bug description:
  Using current precise, it's easy to get:

  - install a dbgsym for a package which has dbg in the archive (i.e nautilus-dbgsym)
  - wget the dbg.deb
  - sudo dpkg -i deb.dbg (should fail on a conflict)
  - sudo apt-get -f install (should  clean the dbg)

  update-manager should only list nautilus-dbg to install
