Bug Description

Screencap of the situation: http://i46.tinypic.com/213r6g3.png

Basically I expect to be able to check the two check boxes (for the ibus-hangul and nabi updates, respectively), but I am unable. I've tried time and again conventional left-click over both of them, right-click ->Select all... Nothing. They keep being deselected and therefore cannot click on Instalar actualizaciones (Spanish for Install updates).

I'm facing the exact same issue. These two updates "ibus-hangul" and "nabi" have been showing up on my Update Manager screen for definitely over 3 months now. After so many other application & kernel updates these two are still there.

Same as Carlos, even I can't select them or update them or remove them. Searches on the net have not provided any reasonable solution (other than to freeze portions of packages which others are saying is not safe to do since other applications can get affected due to dependencies).

My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) 32-bit version running on an Intel 64 bit.

Any help is much appreciated.
