I am using neon 5.7.3 which is up to date. An icon in the system tray advises me that 13 updates plus 1 security update are available. Discover appears after clicking icon and reports, system up to date - no further activity Using my update script I download 13 plus packages. I cannot find a report about this issue, one or two close but nothing exact. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click system tray update available icon when updates become available 2. 3. Actual Results: Discover reports that my system is up to date Expected Results: Discover should display the updates and allow me to download One of the close reporters mentioned that they tried Muon and it worked. I have not done that but I will try it next time and report back. My updater script and Muon should be spot on. They both worked in the past.
Hi, Is it possible that you upgraded using apt-get? Such as "apt-get dist-upgrade"?
Yes My updater script uses apt-get update apt-get -y --force-yes dist-upgrade apt-get -y --force-yes autoremove apt-get clean apt-get autoclean then /var/run/reboot-required (if required) I have used it for years without any problems. Hope this didn't screw you/me up? Thanx
No, no no. No problem with mixing packagekit and apt-get, other than the problem described here. I'll see what I can do. You might be wondering, in Kubuntu we use QApt which talks directly to apt, so this problem doesn't happen.
