Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

I think the existence of two options in the update-manager right click menu: "Show updates" and "Install all updates" is unnecessary. Both of the options allow the user to update their system, but I don't think there is any useful difference between them.

The user's life should be made as simple as possible - they either want to update their computer or they don't. I think you should merge the two options.

In fact, to be honest, I'm not convinced the option "Start package manager" is helpful either: it can be started from the menu like any program.

Well, I wouldn't agree with that one. "Show updates" is for people who want to look trough updates install only the ones they for example need right now, or because of anything else, when "Install all updates" is for downloading and installing all updates without anything. That's my opinion, and also this is for bugs only, right?
