Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

I'm running Gutsy x86_64 and I've got a problem with the update manager.

Important security updates, Recommended updates and unsupported updates is checked.

The update manager shows two installable packages. Libcairo2 & libcairo2-dev, these are both are checked.
When I click install updates; I see the checking for updates dialog with reading state information as the message, then I am returned to the original form showing the two installable items.

Not a bug...

I just found the setting in synaptic that only installs packages by preference on gutsy instead of the highest version, Once I changed the setting the upgrades installed ok.

Synaptic settings->Preferences->Distribution

DOH!

I think the update manager should not show updates if this is set.

Changed in update-manager:
