[Bug 1586468] [NEW] "apt-mark hold" ignored by Update Manager

[Christopher Barrington-Leigh]

Public bug reported:


Update manager keeps telling me there's software to upgrade, but there is only a package on the do-not-upgrade list:

When I try upgrading from the command line, I see:


Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  offlineimap
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.


Since I clearly don't want this upgraded, I should not be told that there are packages awaiting upgrade by GUIs pop-ups or in the GUI control window.
