Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 1.18 Severity: important Usertags: verbose
The new "Packages with upgradable origin but kept back" report section
is way too verbose in 1.18. On a system with testing, unstable,
experimental (and *-debug and buildd-*), it appears that it lists every
package that has a new version in an another suite, even if the apt
pinning of that version is lower than the current version. Reporting
packages being kept back due to the local pinning isn't useful, because
that is normal and expected so it doesn't need to be reported.
As an example, here is part of mine:
Packages with upgradable origin but kept back:
Debian unstable:
readline-common ...
...
Debian buildd-experimental:
evolution ...
...
Package evolution is kept back because a related package is kept back
or due to local apt_preferences(5).
...
Package readline-common is kept back because a related package is kept
back or due to local apt_preferences(5).
$ apt policy evolution readline-common
