Jimmy:

What I did was to go into software sources and I checked the box under
the updates tab labeled as "unsupported updates - Gutsy- backports".

I then went back to update manager where it prompted me to do a partial
upgrade.  And one of the 4 updates that was listed was a newer version
of SUM.

I then did the partial upgrade and after doing so, this fixed the
problem with SUM not exiting correctly.

My question to you is, if this new version of SUM that I installed by
this process was necessary to fix this problem then WHY is the check box
on the update tab in software sources labeled as "UNSUPPORTED UPDATES".
That really makes no sense to me.  To me UNSUPPORTED UPDATES would imply
that these updates are NOT an official part of Ubuntu and possibly
should not be download and installed because they could possibly not
only not fix your problems but create some new ones.   Is there a
possibility that this check box needs to be re-labeled ?

Should this check box labeled "unsupported updates" in software sources
always remained checked in order that fixes will be applied to the O/S
to fix flaws ?

Thanks.
