Update Manager continually offers Partial Upgrade in Lucid Lynx Alpha3

[Tony Mugan]

Binary package hint: update-manager

The first time around it installed something like "cpu-checker" and then after a reboot it went through a cycle of offering a Partial Upgrade and then saying there was nothing to upgrade.

I then resolved at command line by a dist-upgrade...
