Binary package hint: update-manager

A manually triggered update will sometimes silently update in the background with no interactive feedback. The user is left with a "Waiting for other tasks" dialogue. The update will continue as normal but the user is never informed as to its status. On at least one occasion this has resulted in damaged (but repairable) apt database due to shutdown while an update was taking place.
