Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

If you have to install some updates update-managers says "you can install N updates" in the title GUI. After you press "install updates" button update-manger doesn't say "updates installed" in the title but it still displays the previous message. I think it's misleading for a typical user.

Tested with Hardy and update-manger 1:0.87.31

Today I have made some updates (also with kernel updates) and the message (the title of update-manager GUI) at the end of the installation process has been "your system is up-to-date".
I think this is not a wishlist request but a real bug that happens sometimes (or with some updates, I don't know).

The bug is real. However I don't see it on every update and have not been able
to figure out what triggers it. The screenshot shows the state after applying a
daily ppa update to firefox4.0.
