[Bug] Blacklisted packages reappear on Refresh (LMDE)

[Harry-W-Haines-III]

After doing a right click "Ignore the current update for this package" then when it refreshes it is still present. Checking in Preferences | Blacklist the package is listed. In the past this feature worked correctly. There are times when I wish to delay a kernel update to extend system uptime.

Screenshots

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Update Manager'
2. Click on 'Kernel Update and right click' "Ignore the current update for this package"
3. Update Manager refreshes
4. Package is still shown even though it appears on the blacklist.

Expected behavior Package will be hidden as it has been in the past.

Following up on this. On another computer running LMDE 5 and fully updated, was able to blacklist packages but none of them were kernel updates. For this kernel package the Update Manager does successfully hide the kernel package if I select "Ignore all future updates for this package" after "Ignore all current updates for this package". Maybe just an anomaly with the package name?

Here is what the dconf entries show:

"Ignore all current updates for this package" /com/linuxmint/updates/blacklisted-packages ['linux-signed-amd64=5.10.136+1', 'linux=5.10.136-1']

"Ignore all current updates for this package" + "Ignore all current updates for this package" /com/linuxmint/updates/blacklisted-packages ['linux-signed-amd64=5.10.136+1', 'linux=5.10.136-1', 'linux-signed-amd64']
