Title:
apt upgrade clears a hold on an uninstalled snapd
Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I have an "apt-mark hold" on several packages, one of which is not
installed, snapd. An "apt upgrade" that's not a noop, that actually
installs something, clears the snapd hold. The others remain.
