Binary package hint: update-manager
As noted in a comment to <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/175192">bug 175192</a>, if the version preferences are set in synaptic so that there exist possible updates which will not be installed, then update-manager displays its star icon and claims there are updates to install, but when clicking "Install Updates" nothing happens and the possible updates are still displayed. I found this very confusing until I discovered the above-mentioned comment and realized what was happening. Perhaps when this happens update-manager could display a message informing the user that certain possible updates will not be installed due to version preferences?
Ubuntu 8.10
