Bug Description

The Software Updater dialog says that updates are available, and 634 kB will be downloaded, but the list of packages in "details of updates" is completely blank. The Technical description pane is also blank.

After selecting "Install Now", it seems that python-<something> and update-manager itself were updated.

This has happened to me a few times in recent months.

apt-get upgrade will correctly print out all the packages that will be installed.

Currently (2013-09-05) it's kerberos libraries (libhcrypto4-heimdal et al) that are not showing up in the update list.
