Just does not update packages

[Vincenzo Ciancia]

The update-notifier icon tells there are upgrades, I show the upgrades, and I click on the button to upgrade the system but... nothing happens, except I see a progress bar again and the update-manager windows remains identical. If I right-click on the icon notification icon, the system is upgraded so this is strictly an update-manager bug.

If there is anything I can do to help please contact me, we can even arrange an irc, skype or yahoo_messenger meeting, but absolutely this bug must be fixed before leaving the RC phase or many users will try ubuntu and abandon it; the update-notification is one of the very first things an user sees, and first impressions count more than all the rest.

I googled and found an italian forum with many users complaining, and nobody found a solution. I need instructions on how to downgrade a pacakge or fake its downgrade, in order to activate the icon again and be able to report more information.

Sorry I forgot to mention: I have installed edgy RC from an official CD, and then upgraded the system regularly.

Could you please run (in a termianl):
$ update-manager
and click on install and add the termianl output here?

Was this a problem for you in the rc-version already? Or did it started to happen with one of the updates?

This might be #51419, but I would like to see your terminal output first before marking it as a duplicate.
