I have rather a question (dumb) - If Update Manager itself can recommend
the solution - why cant system apply the fix automatically? Maybe am
missing something and it is not a trivial implementation as it appears.
Note - Mint Update manager starts with root privileges so sudo rights is
not an issue.
Any thoughts? Especially folks who have experience with packaging.
