[Bug 1796031] Re: Panel listing packages empty, but upgrades are available

The pop-up with an empty list of packages to install is bug #1072136
which has just been fixed in update-manager 1:18.04.11.6.

It is by design that no packages are shown for installation in this
case; we apply phased updates to SRUs so that they are not all presented
to all users at the same time.  It is also considered a bug in apt that
it does not honor phased updates (but there doesn't appear to be a bug
open on the apt package about this).

I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug #1072136.
