A terminal-based variant of update-manager would be particularly useful
for Ubuntu Server, as it does not use a desktop environment by default
as required by update-manager (the "graphical management of software
packages updates").

If not, then it would be useful to make a clone of update-manager
that could be either part of, or packaged, for Ubuntu. Just to try it
out, I wrote a bash script (just execute it, and run the alias `u` to
try it), see the attached file. However, I'm not satisfied with it,
because it's not yet a full-feathered /clone/ of update-manager:
Which commands are executed when:
I just submitted: Feature request: List executed commands in "Details"
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/2020140
But it does not solve the main issue of the subject of this mail.
* update-manager is opened:
* I'm confident that this is the first executed command: sudo
apt-get -y update
* Then packages are listed, exactly which command is executed to
figure this out?
* The "Install Now" button is clicked on. Examples, which of these
commands are executed, and in which order (please quote with source
code and file names as references)?:
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt autoremove
apt clean
apt full-upgrade
Is something else executed?
* /var/run/reboot-required is used to determine if the GUI should
display a button used to restart the distro

grep -r "reboot-required" .
