Ubuntu
update-manager package

always shows up 2 date

Asked by Inderjit Singh

Even when there is message , software upto date, the update manager shows two options 1. check and 2. install updates. When check is run , it updates the archives and many a times come out with some updates which are otherwise not shown.It appears that while updating the archives data pack is used to down load the available packages. After consuming the data package , sometimes there are no updates available.It appears funny.

Second question- recently 3 updates are shown as available. But the same require installation of untrusted package. These updates are from Medibuntu. The same could not be installed , but still are shown as updates available.These got reflected because I was trying to solve the problem of movie plaver , which is still not working ( Q.No. 201894).

As desired the output is as under -
W:GPG error :http://packages.medibuntu.org precise InRelease : The following signatures could not be verified because the public key is not verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
Second output is-
The following packages have been kept back:
