Bug#632173: unattended-upgrades: Package blacklist is not respected.

Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.62.2
Severity: important


I have blacklisted linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 but it is always attempted to be upgraded when ever unattended-upgrades is run. This upgrade alwats fails because I am running a Squeeze guest on a Lenny Xen host, which means I get annoying cron oputput from both this and apticron.


Debian Release: 6.0.2
APT prefers stable
APT policy: (500, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core)
Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
