Bug Description

I upgraded to 12.04 on 14.3:
UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-03-14

However software center shows only about 30 updates on that day (I checked a few and those seems to be 12.04 updates).
There is updates and installations after 2012-03-14, but no removals. Although I'm pretty sure that 12.04 has also removed some packages.

Thanks for your bugreport.

The release upgrades are handled specially, this is why its not appearing there. But I agree that it would be
useful to show the summary of the changes in software-centers history too.

For the technical details: /var/log/apt/history.log is probably not updated properly by the release upgrader.
