Title:
  Sometimes upgradable packages aren't in update-manager

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

Bug description:
  Xubuntu 13.04 Raring 
  Package versions:  
  update-manager 1:0.186.2
  update-notifier 0.134
  synaptic 0.80~exp2raring1

  Right now, if I click the update-notifier systray icon, the first
  (grayed-out) menu entry says "There are 7 updates available."  If I
  have Synaptic show me packages whose Status is "Installed
  (upgradable)," I see iproute, 4 of libdrm*, libpixman-1-0, and
  libxfont1.  That adds up to 7 as expected.  But in update-manager,
  only libdrm* and libxfont1 are shown, not iproute or libpixman-1-0.

  What is expected to happen is that update-manager will show all of the
  packages that are counted in the update-notifier menu & listed as
  upgradable in Synaptic.

  When I first noticed this issue, update-notifier & Synaptic showed
  only 6 upgradable packages.  A rescan of the repos for updated
  packages ("apt-get update" triggered via a GUI) then added libxfont1
  to the list/count shown in all 3 programs, but didn't make iproute or
  libpixman-1-0 show up in update-manager.

  Restarting the computer also didn't correct the update-manager list.

  I don't know how often this issue can happen or what is special about
  the packages that are missing from update-manager.
