[Bug 869996] Re: Xubuntu (11.04) update manager doesn't apply updates

[Tony Green]

Updates to 11.10 arrived this morning and after clicking the flashing
icon and "install updates", they were installed OK. So it appears the
problem has been fixed with the new release.

Thanks.

Title:
  Xubuntu (11.04) update manager doesn't apply updates

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  New (clean) installation of Xubuntu 11.04.
  Updates icon appears in taskbar.
  Click icon, update manager appears.
  Click "install updates"
  Button appears depressed for a couple of seconds.
  Nothing else happens.

  The same occurs when taking the "update manager" option from the menu.

  running update-manager as root installs packages correctly. Could it
  be that the launchers ought to be applying root privileges?
