The good news: released fix works. What's a bit worrisome, though, is that I had to *manually* run sudo apt-get install update-manager update-manager-core python3-update-manager in order to be able to use update-manager to install all other updates, some of which were long overdue because of this bug.
I'm not sure if update-manager would eventually have updated automatically, but even then, I can imagine that a lot of users would be permanently at risk from outdated software because of having disabled automatic updates or because of running ubuntu on a laptop that never gets the chance to update automatically [as the bug itself prevents updating manually, at least for users who only know update-manager]. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072136 Title: [FFe] After doing updates, update manager propose to install an empty list of updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1072136/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
