Anybody got this to work? I've tried setting the different values from the AskUbuntu page [1]:

    Update-Manager::Always-Include-Phased-Updates;
    APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates: True;
In a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99phased-updates. I've also tried the Never version of them. Neither one seems to have any effect. The only thing that seems to work is the suggested command-line setting:

    sudo apt -o APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates=true upgrade

FYI: After just throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall, I've finally come up with the following which does work, at least for apt (haven't tried update manager):

    Update-Manager::Always-Include-Phased-Updates;
    APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates True;
Note the lack of a ":" in the APT:: line. Putting a : silently causes it to do phased updates.
