Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager-core
Hi,
I needed to patch a bug in vpnc and so built a package via apt-src, installed it, and had to lock/hold it's version in both synaptic, and aptitude, so that it didn't get updated by either package manager.
The update-manager notifications seem to ignore the locked state of the package and offer it as as upgrade and so I always get a notification. I assume this is a bug, or, if it isn't, then am I missing a way of syncing different package managers package states?
Cheers,
Tim

Confirming, this is still the case in Intrepid. Update-manager should honour version locks (which one can apply in Synaptic, Aptitude, etc) and not offer to install updates to locked packages. Synaptic, Aptitude and Apt-get do this correctly. I'll flag this bug as "confirmed".
