"Install Now" button disappears for good if all packages unselected

[Tormod Volden]

If one deselects all packages, the "Install Now" button disappears, which makes sense (on another note it would make even more sense if it was simply grayed out). However when one or more packages are then re-selected, the button won't ever reappear, and update-manager must be restarted in order to upgrade any packages.

You say "update-manager 1:24.04.6 (Ubuntu 20.04)" but tagged the bug Noble, can you please correct that?

Here the window simply goes unresponsive and segfaults. Won't submit crash files, Whoopsie wants me to upgrade the entire system before doing so.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I think you got segfaults because you hit bug #2027941 (or #2041831, the "secret" report, dunno which one should be made duplicate). I guess you used a mouse click to deselect :) If you use the spacebar to deselect, you can probably reproduce this bug.
