I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and ever since I get 2 Evolution updates that show up in Update Manager that I can't check mark to update, they just keep showing up. Also, when doing "sudo apt-get update" I don't see these show up?
I just opened synaptic package manager and searched for evolution, then it showed 2 packages that had grey ! marks beside them in the place of a green or white box. I right clicked them and they show the option to upgrade.
They are listed as:
architecture independent files for Evolution
standard plugins for Evolution
Which is just the description for 2 pacakges named evolution-common and evolution-plugins.
Usually, for an installed package it shows a "green box", rt clicking then shows the options to:
Mark for Reinstallation
Mark for Removal
Mark for Complete Removal
Properties
For a package that's not installed it shows a "white box" to the left and rt clicking gives the options:
Mark for Installation
Properties
But for theses 2 packages listed in Synaptic Package Manager as:
Package Installed Version Latest Version Description
evolution-common 2.32.2-0ubuntu7 3.2.2-0ubuntu0.1 (architecture independent files for Evolution)
evolution-plugins 2.32.2-0ubuntu7 3.2.2-0ubuntu0.1 (standard plugins for Evolution)
the options are:
Mark for Upgrade
Mark for Removal
Mark for Complete Removal
Properties
and the installed version of 2.32.2 is not the latest version nor is it the same as the other 20-25 packages listed (all the packages shown after searching for evolution) that all have version 3.2.2, so I rt clicked both and upgraded, clicked apply, it upgraded and after which it also installed previously uninstalled package "Evolution", which probably got uninstalled during the upgrade process but all the left over pieces where still there or not all of the packages left over were upgrading properly.
Now when I run Update Manager it shows no packages.
Is there a terminal way to do this or a code for me to search for, or verbosely show, all packages that need upgraded?
