[Bug 1746840] Re: apt-clone crashed with apt_pkg.Error in _restore_package_selection_in_cache(): E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[Marc Deslauriers]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
