Unless you use non supported 3rd party repositories, it never happens. Like never, ever. With snaps on the rise, people will probably not use ppa anymore unless they are tech saavy enough to take care of any (rare) problem.

>Unless you use non supported 3rd party repositories Or you mix and match releases. I usually keep Sid sources enabled, so that I can quickly build a newer version of this or that package if necessary; 90% of the time this works flawlessly, but when it comes to complex stuff like python, the dependency graph can get a bit borked if I'm not careful. (Yeah yeah, not supported, but as I said most of the times it works just fine.) Whereas Windows Update just screws up periodically on its own. Sometimes it sits at 0% for hours then BANG! 60 updates installed, please reboot. Once I had 100+ updates to apply and I couldn't see any progress, so I killed the wusua service and observed the download folder immediately filling up with packages, which clearly Windows was keeping somewhere else while lying about download progress. Then there are the times when it just refuses to install this or that update and doesn't tell you why...
