Settings/Preferences/Distribution was set to: Prefer versions from = hardy And thanks, because that lead me to find the workaround: Set Prefer versions from = hardy-updates
Still, the default behavior is very confusing in terms of user interface so I'm leaving the bug open and changing the description. ** Summary changed: - [hardy] Can't install any updates at all from Update Manager or Synaptic + [hardy] Update Manager and Synaptic fail to install recommended updates without any explanation -- [hardy] Update Manager and Synaptic fail to install recommended updates without any explanation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/227282 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
