Here's an update: I just started poking around in Synaptic. On a hunch in the Preferences I changed "Prefer versions from: hardy" to "Prefer newest version."
Now the update manager is downloading the reported number of updates (44). Again, this is a brand-new system, so I hadn't changed any other preferences in Synaptic. Does this help get to the bottom of the problem? If the install goes well the bug might be moot. -- Update Manager continues to report "updates available" but does not update anything. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481209 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
