Public bug reported: I recently observed that after updating the system using update manager a significant amount of packages remained pending and not upgraded.
It can be verified on every update that is available: 1. I get informed that updates are available or I start update-manager manually 2. I get a list of packages available for update I install them or 3. I call sudo apt-get upgrade (with or without previous update) => I get a list of packages pending (which in case 2 ..or are different and a superset of what update-manager offers) 4. Manually upgrading works fine, upgrading using update-manager is unreliable ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: update-manager 1:16.04.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-22.40-generic 4.4.8 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia wl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri May 27 19:54:11 2016 GsettingsChanges: b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'show-details' b'true' b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-height' b'1028' b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'first-run' b'false' b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-width' b'1303' b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'launch-time' b'1464371636' InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-05-17 (1105 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64+mac (20130424) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: update-manager UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-04-22 (34 days ago) ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug third-party-packages xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586492 Title: update-manager does not update all available packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1586492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
