[Bug 1473429] [NEW] update-manager failes to install kernel security update

[Rkimber]

Public bug reported:

Update-manager, which unaccountably appears on the screen labelled
'software updater', told me that a security update was available for the
kernel (Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2667-1).  When I tried to install it
the progress window showed, but quickly closed without explanation.

In order to install the security update I had to do it from the command
line, using dist-upgrade.

In the past I have always been able to install security updates with
'software updater'.
