software updater shows a download needed, but lists no packages

Asked by tadiv

Recently Software Updater has been launching telling me that there are updates, but no packages are listed. The interface shows 54.1 MB will be downloaded, but no package is listed... I have never seen this before - what's up?

If you close software-update and re-open it, does it still show a pending update?

Yes, it does. It goes through the "Checking for updates..." process then opens the dialog tha states "Updates software is available for this computer..." but no packages are listed. The download now says "55.5 MB will be downloaded."

The command line version of the package manager shows 42 packages with updates waiting.
What does update-manager now tell?

No packages are listed and the software updater now states "The updates have already been downloaded."

I have no explanation for this.
I suggest that you just install the updates with help of the command line:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
