** Description changed: + [Impact] + + An empty list of updates is shown to the user when phased updates + depending on each other are kept back from installation. + + The blank list confuses users. + + [Test Case] + + 1. Start with a fully upgraded system and downgrade a few phased interdependent packages to let u-m upgrade them: + (bionic)$ sudo eatmydata apt install -y --allow-downgrades gnome-software=3.28.1-0ubuntu4 gnome-software-common=3.28.1-0ubuntu4 + (xenial)$ sudo apt install gnome-software=3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2 gnome-software-common=3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2 ubuntu-software=3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2 + $ sudo eatmydata apt install -y --allow-downgrades linux-headers-4.15.0-32 linux-headers-4.15.0-32-generic; sudo /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal ; sudo apt-mark auto linux-headers-4.15.0-32 linux-headers-4.15.0-32-generic + 3. Set phasing to 0%: + $ sudo sed -i 's/Phased-Update-Percentage: .*/Phased-Update-Percentage: 0/' /var/lib/apt/lists/*.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_*-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages + + 2. Start u-m with: + $ update-manager --no-update + + 4. Observe installable updates or u-m telling that there are no updates + to install in the fixed version or a blank list with unfixed u-m. + + [Regression Potential] + + Implementation mistakes could make phased updates installed of + autoremovable kernels not to be removed but in my testing I found not + such problem. + + [Original Bug Text] + In the update dialog, there is no updates, just an empty list, see the attached screenhot. Clicking install now-button just takes me back to the dialog after some time. This problem started after some updates to update-manager to Quantal.
