Title:
  'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'

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

Bug description:
  Dunno, whether this one is related to the "Fix Released" one (#850482)
  but in the current version (1:0.152.25.4) the update manager refuses
  to update with the message: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have
  held broken packages.'

  The background is: I've re-installed two packages cnijfilter-
  common:i386 and cnijfilter-mp210series:i386 from package files
  cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb and cnijfilter-
  mp210series_2.80-1_i386.deb, which depend on libcupsys2 and libpopd0.
  Thus installation only worked with

  sudo dpkg --force-architecture --force-depends -i cnijfilter-
  common_2.80-1_i386.deb

  and the other one, respectively (yes, they work).
  After the fist problems, that arouse from update-manager due to broken packages, which it would try to remove (though I wanna hold them, I marked them to be held using a file with these two packages marked to hold, by

  sudo dpkg --set-selections < dpkg-hold.txt

  Now, obviously they seem to be marked to be held, which seems to lead
  into trouble for update-manager, and to synaptic, as well, as it
  wouldn't install anything, without deciding, to remove these two
  packages.
