Title:
  upgrading dont care about locked package

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  Natty testing (i386 updated)

  for my needs i've locked a package to a previous release. When i use either synaptic or update-manager and update, its ok they dont propose to update that locked package.
  But in a terminal, if i run:

  sudo apt-get install -f : it says 1 package non installed
  sudo apt-get upgrade : the package is proposed for upgrading

  So different upgrading tools give different results, confusing. In
  this case the problem is minor as i've only 1 recent locked package
  and i remind about it, but otherwise ... Dont know which package to
  blame.

   I think that these tools might clearly return the situation: do you
  want to upgrade the locked package ?
