Bug#726174: apt: APT::Get::Upgrade-Allow-New installs new packages when depending package isn't upgraded
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.3
Followup-For: Bug #726174
> If a package is pinned to prevent an upgrade, but the candidate version

> package isn't being upgraded.
The same thing happens when a package cannot be upgraded due to
dependency issues. For example:
Attached is a test case I managed to come up with. Note that liba2 is
installed even though a ends up not being upgraded.
Note also that the problem is not exhibited if the conflicts is moved
from package a to liba2, or only added to liba2.
