different updates between synaptic and mintupdate

[PhCouka]

Problem with lm 17, xfce/cinnamon/mate

In synaptic, updates classified at level 4 or 5 in mintupdate (and unchecked) are proposed for delete/whole delete (suppression/suppression complète), although they are in the "update available" tab.

It wasn't the case in former linuxmint versions; the updates proposed in synaptic were the updates proposed in mintupdate, depending on the level checked in mintupdate. Unchecked levels weren't proposed either in synaptic.

There seems to be a synchronization problem between synaptic and mintupdate.

Update levels have always been a mintupdate-specific feature.
In previous versions, synaptic didn't take them into account either (it doesn't even know of the concept of update levels).

Hello Gwendal

Apparemment je me suis mal exprimé; le bug est que synaptic propose de
supprimer des paquets qui sont en fait à mettre à jour. Ces paquets sont
justement ceux marqués en niveau 4 et 5 par mintupdate.

Le problème est donc qu'il sont en statut "mise à jour" dans synaptic, mais
que les options réellement possibles (clic droit) sont "suppression" et
"suppression complète".

Donc en voulant mettre un système à jour, on va par erreur supprimer ces
paquets.

C'est ça, le bug.
