Bug Description
When I logged in today, update-notifier told me that 6 updates were available. When I launched update-manager, the Software Updater window said "388kB will be downloaded", but the "Details of updates" list was empty.
There obviously were updates to be installed, as confirmed by the output of apt-get:
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
apport apport-gtk python-apport python-
python3-
6 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 388 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,024 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Despite the mysteriously empty Software Updater list, I clicked "Install Now", and the updates were installed. Still, I think it should have told me what it intended to install.
I'm running Xubuntu 13.04 (raring) with update-manager 1:0.186.1.
