How long has given package been deferred due to phasing?

  • 772

When I run apt upgrade on my Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) I see message

The following upgrades have been deferred due to phasing:
file-roller

And it seems to me that this file-roller is phased for quite a long time, but I don't keep a record when it got installed/upgraded.

How to find out for how long it has been deferred?

apt

    The Phased Update tracker does track days.

    Reminder that it is an internal dashboard meant for developer/team use.

    • Do not ping developers "Hey, did you forget about this? When will it be done?" They did not forget. Phased Update failures are a high priority, are also complex and sometimes subtle. The Ubuntu developers will not compound the original problem by rushing.
    • Do not abuse the tracker with scripts or scrapers, lest it be closed from public observation.
    • Do not ask for access to the specific linked error or bug if your access is denied. A private bug contains personal or sensitive information. To get access, you must be an actively contributing member of the team with a record of trust.
