Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Update Manager tells me there are 35 updates to be installed. So I click
Install Updates, see "Reading package information", and absolutely
nothing happens.
Now giving up on Update Manager, I open Synaptic and do a reload.
Eventually Synaptic shows no updates available, while Update Manager
/does/ show updates available. Looking more closely, Synaptic can't even
see the higher versioned packages being listed by Update Manager.
Synaptic lists the over versions, even after the reload.
I even tried changing repositories in Synaptic, did a reload and
Synaptic still fails to see the new package versions reported in Update
Manager.
Finally, running a "sudo apt-get upgrade" seems to be working and is
upgrading all the same packages that Update Manager listed in the first
place. But why are Update Manager and Synaptic both silently refusing to
install anything?
Running: Ubuntu 8.04 desktop amd64 (clean installation).
And no, this is not bug 208612. I don't get any error messages and
root's home is not broken.
