[Bug 1445825] Re: Update Manager package grouping wrong

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Marking confirmed based on your screenshot, there seems to be something
wrong here. (And also also seen similar issues myself in the past.)

I found some other bugs which are also related to grouping of updates,
see bug 1237277 and bug 1214218 for details. In both cases, the "parent"
package originates from a PPA, but I don't know if this is the
underlying reason or not, so I don't feel comfortable marking this as a
duplicate. Might be worth investigating, though.

Title:
  Update Manager package grouping wrong

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  According to Update Manager, ISC DHCP Client and "Common files used by
  all the isc-dhcp* packages" are part of the FreeCAD package, which I
  get from the FreeCAD Daily PPA:

    $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freecad-maintainers-freecad-daily-trusty.list 
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily/ubuntu trusty main
    # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily/ubuntu trusty main

  If I simulate a freecad upgrade with apt-get, there's no mention of
  ISC DHCP. As far as I can tell, ISC DHCP does not have anything to do
  with FreeCAD, as it shouldn't, so this appears to be a bug in Update
  Manager.

  I've attached a screenshot showing what this looks like in Update
  Manager.
