[DC LoCo] apt-get vs. gui update manager

[Marti Martinson]

Good morning.

I have a laptop on which I have Peppermint Ice installed. It is a
Lubuntu derivative which, I am fairly sure, uses some lucid sources. The
cron package had an update this morning, so I installed it.

I went to my everyday Linux box (Ubuntu 10.0.4, running LXDE session)
and ran the GUI Update manager. It did not find any updates. I thought
that was weird, in that the lucid cron update "should" have been there,
too.

I started a terminal and sudo'ed apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. 4
packages were found.

Does anyone know a reason why the CLI would show updates but not the
GUI? Could it have just been I queried AFTER they were uploaded? My
timing is usually never THAT good.

Curious, but not concerned, in DC,

Marti

PS Thanks, as always.
