[Kyle]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: update-manager
  
- I recently upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. When I run update-manager, a
- number of updates appear ready to be installed. However, when I click on
- "Install Updates", nothing happens. The password prompt does not show
- up.
+ I recently installed a fresh copy of 10.10 on top of an existing 10.04
+ installation (formatted all partitions except /home and kept the
+ username the same). When I run update-manager, a number of updates
+ appear ready to be installed. However, when I click on "Install
+ Updates", nothing happens. The password prompt does not show up.
  
  I have confirmed that I can install updates by running "sudo apt-get
- upgrade". Any other information that I can provide to help troubleshoot
- this issue?

+ This issue also happens on "System -> Administration -> Additional
