[Bug 1858961] Re: Update-Manager does not apply updates seen by the package manager

I don't see how that's relevant. My package manager sees there are
packages available, but the Update-Manager doesn't always apply them.
When I go to the CLI and manually tell apt to apply the updates it sees,
then they get updated.

I'm basing the "available packages" on what my package manager tells me,
not based on repose I am not actually using (which it sounds like, is
what you're suggesting).

Title:
  Update-Manager does not apply updates seen by the package manager

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Very frequently Update-Manager will only update part of the packages
  that are reported as available for updating. I don't know how to tell
  which ones it does and which it doesn't update. For example, it won't
  update any libreoffice packages at all recently.

  I have to go to the CLI and do apt update && apt upgrade to be able to
  actually get all the new updates.

  This has been going on for a bunch of months now, but I'm not entirely
  sure when it started.
