I am having similar issues as well. Synaptic shows updates but when I say insatll it asks for the password, builds & reads the package information and gives me back the same screen where I asked it to install updates.
There is no change in the updates neither does it install any. -- [hardy] Update Manager and Synaptic fail to install recommended updates without any explanation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/227282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
