Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
Steps to reproduce: 1. Install opera via a .deb package downloaded from www.opera.com or snapshots.opera.com 2. Upgrade Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04 Expected result: Opera is installed and available to use. Actual result: Opera is marked as obsolete and uninstalled Notes: It would seem that the Opera repository (http://deb.opera.com/) is disabled within "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list" on upgrade. During the final updrage step Opera is then interpreted as being obsolete, due to the fact that it was listed in the APT sources and is no longer. As such it is actually uninstalled, thus leaving an Opera user without his/her favoured browser. Although I have not yet investigated further I would guess that all software provided exclusively by third party repositories will get similarly removed in this way. I suspect it is highly unlikely this is what a user would want or expect.
