[Bug 745393] Re: Option to deselect all packages on a "per-program basis" would be helpful

[Robert Roth]

Thanks for reporting this bug. In the current development release, Oneiric, Update-Manager has checkboxes for sections for toggling all updates from a section (Distribution Upgrades, PPAs, Security Updates, etc.). Would this solve the problem for you? See the screenshot attached (currently I only have the Distribution Upgrades section, but it's the same for PPAs and other sources too)

Title:
  Option to deselect all  packages on a "per-program basis" would be
  helpful

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  At present if a user right clicks on the list of updates they're able to "check all" or "uncheck all". It would be very helpful to allow the user to uncheck updates related to a specific piece of software  in this same, quick way. This could accomplished by changing the context menu if a user right clicks on a  software heading (e.g. "Banshee Team PPA"). The context menu could then provide an additional option similar to "uncheck all software updates for [progam name]".
