Interesting... I ran sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade AGAIN
just now and got quite different results. For example, ubuntu-pro-client
was found this time, downloaded and apparently installed. Waiting a
day or two seems to produce different results. Maybe this idea of
waiting before updating might be good?

That looks quite good compared to what I have. Do you have some
non-Ubuntu pgms you use? I have several, and am wondering if those are
why I have different stuff here.

Many thanks,
