I think the duplicate status is wrong, as this bug was filed separate from 437094 because it was NOT a duplicate of that bug, which itself seems to be similar to the bug 448810.

In short, this bug, 448952, was filed in response to 437094, because they differ. 448810 seems similar to 437094.

I'm posting here because i have a bug that may be similar to philinux's and i'm looking for confirmation.

Upon a fresh start, if i run update manager it loads a previous 'check' of the dependencies etc. Fair enough. If i click 'check' to update the list, i'm asked to enter my password. All is fine.

Then i click 'Install Updates' and all it does is check the dependencies and refresh the list again. It does not install anything.

I currently have important security updates, recommended updates and proposed updates available to install. But nothing is happening.

Deselecting one set of updates, or either set of other updates does not make it install the remaining selected updates.

I'll post any relevant information that you need.

Sorry, i seem to have gotten confused in trying to locate a bug similar to the one i am experiencing.

I instead seem to be experiencing the same as Hamish Downer as they describe at the bottom of bug 437094, and thought the following post from theirs was the same thing.

Ignore the reactivation or whatever of this duplicate bug 448952.

Any help in pointing me to a bug similar to mine and Hamish Downer's would be of great use!

Sorry and thanks once again.
