apticron reports packages on hold as upgradable

[Morten Bressendorff Schmidt]

Binary package hint: apticron

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
------------------------------------
apticron:
  Installed: 1.1.35
  Candidate: 1.1.35
  Version table:
 *** 1.1.35 0
        500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
------------------------------------
When setting packages on hold, using both aptitude and dpkg --set-selections, aptitude and apt-get both say nothing to upgrade, and apt-get says that the packages are on hold.

apticron still sends mail every day, that the packages on hold are upgradable, though it should respect that the packages are held back.
