Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

I maintain an ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx, 64-bit) server. I do it remotely
either on command line (using secure shell ssh) or in GUI (using ssh -Y
and then update-manager). And now what's the problem:

When I log in, I can see messages

15 packages can be updated.
10 updates are security updates.

I issue the command (on the server, not on local machine)
sudo update-manager
do check to refresh the information and then actually perform the update. All 
items from the update-manager window disappear as they should to after 
successfull update.

However: when I log out and then log in again (after few seconds) I
again get the same message on login:

15 packages can be updated.
10 updates are security updates.

OK, then (and many other times) I try to perform an update from command line 
using
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

No positive result. Nothing is updated actually.

In summary, I observe disagreement between information in the graphical
update-manager and the text messages typed after log-in.

Finally I add that I want to keep Lucid on the server.
