I totally agree. If update manager does not display version numbers, why it displays package names at all? The core idea: What is the purpose of update manager? Well, I thing the purpose is: 1) to ask user if he want to install updates 2) provide him enough information for his decision If these point are not met, then update manager is *completely* useless. Then it can only displays message "Some updates available" with only one button "Yes, do update".
As Chris already noted: Without version numbers I cannot decide if I want to update "pidgin" to "pidgin". I do not have enough information. Then purpose of interactive update manager is gone. -- Update Manager doesn't display package versions anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189406 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
