[Bug 1586468] Re: "apt-mark hold" ignored by Update Manager

[Paul White]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.
Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) reached end-of-life on July 19, 2018.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when
using a currently supported release of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you
do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days
time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
  "apt-mark hold" ignored by Update Manager

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Incomplete
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  Update manager keeps telling me there's software to upgrade, but there is only a package on the do-not-upgrade list:

  When I try upgrading from the command line, I see:

  
  Calculating upgrade... Done
  The following packages have been kept back:
    offlineimap
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

  
  Since I clearly don't want this upgraded, I should not be told that there are packages awaiting upgrade by GUIs pop-ups or in the GUI control window.
