[Bug 1635559] [NEW] Running update-manager ignores available updates

[Mathias Dietrich]

Public bug reported:

Running update-manager tells "System is up to date" although there are
multiple updates available via apt upgrade or ubuntu-software.

This is a terrible bug because with this behavior, security updates are
most probably ignored.
