I would like to add a screenshot along with my support for Dd that this might just be a bug. You see from the screenshot that in order to run the upgrade, I have to have Software Updates running. Yet it seems that this is the very application that is blocking the system upgrade. Yes, I realize that this is running in Kubuntu and is KDE specific. However, Kubuntu is built upon the main architecture of Ubuntu in my case (I am running the Black Lab build) and it still pops up when I try this. Perhaps you could reexamine this and determine if it still qualifies as "not a bug." Since I cannot upload ain image attachment, I will have to share the link to this image instead. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7GlQguQXvSwd0NqLU4tVVZiOGs/view?usp=sharing
