[Nathan Teodosio]

For those who are affected by the this bug, can you please try the
proposed (probably partial) fix in [1]?

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nteodosio/ubuntu-pro
  apt install update-manager
  update-manager --no-update

Please share the results and also the output of the last command as you
interact with Software Updater.

When you are done testing, you can remove the PPA with

Title:
  software updater says there are more updates but wont do them

Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Software updater starts automatically when it detects a new set of updates. When this is done it shows new 
  'Other updates'- 42kB with a sublevel 'System components' both with checkboxes, but you cant select the checkboxes.
  BTW at the bottom of the window it says 16.6 MB will be downloaded (not 42Kb).

  You have to cancel to close the window. At the next update period a
  similar thing happens
