Breaks operating system if update manager's auto updates are enabled #43

Not sure if to file against the update manager or not.

When downloading updates ahead of applying them, the update manager starts automatically installing some of them. In my case this included libc, which then broke my system when I tried to downgrade as mintupgrade then moaned later that I had packages that were the wrong version. Suffice it to say, I had to boot a live disk and manually resolve dependencies to downgrade, but many people would not have been able to do this.

To fix on this side I guess you could add another check to see if the update manager has automatic updates turned on?
