Bug Description
[Impact]
* Update-manager crashes when it tries to remove a package not existing in the archive that was already removed since update-manager refreshed its cache.
* The fix TODO
[Test Case ]
(with Bionic's package names)
* Install older kernel packages, downgrade a few packages and mark the kernels autoremovable:
$ wget http://
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-
$ sudo eatmydata apt install -y --allow-downgrades libpoppler73=
* Start update-manager in a different terminal and _don't_ start the upgrade
* Remove kernel packages behind u-m's back:
$ sudo apt purge -y linux-headers-
* Click Settings.. on update-manager's GUI, then Close on the appearing dialogue. In buggy versions a crash with apt_pkg.
[Regression Potential]
* TODO
