Bug Description
apticron 1.1.58ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04.1
To reproduce this issue you have to mark an upgradeable package on hold.
Example:
tomcat8 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.1 (installed)
tomcat8 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.2 (upgradeable)
- mark package on hold:
$ sudo apt-mark hold tomcat8
- run apticron
$ sudo apticron
E: Held packages were changed and -y was used without --allow-
I could fix this issue by adding parameter "--allow-
