Bug Description
I locked a version of a package through synaptic (it's a ppa version with a patch I use and I do not want it to be overriden by regular updates) like this: https:/
Now, when I do an update through update-manager says "1 update has been selected. 87 KB will be downloaded." However, it is not true, as nothing will be updated when I click "Install updates". Moreover, wrong information is displayed in "Description of update" (see screenshot - I have already upgraded flash, the package I hold is xorg-something).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Lock a package that has an updated version in repositories
2. Run update manager and update everything
What happens:
2. See above, wrong information is displayed
What should happen:
1. Update manager should say there are no updates available (if I held a package, I want it held so I do not want updates, do not nag me about it. And if you are to nag me about it, at leas say what you are nagging about:-)).
