Hi
Usually, the software updater prompts me every few days or so with updates and runs without problem.
The last time it ran, I selected the "remind me later option"
It didn't remind me, but I didn't think any further on it.
Today, I ran the updater from the (unity?) taskbar.
it checked for updates and listed the updates available for installation.
I press "install now". It displays the "installing software" dialog but then exits without prompting for the password and without performing the installations (in this case updates to JDK and Ubuntu Base)
I have removed the package lists at /var/lib/apt/lists (and /partial)
I have run sudo apt-get update
I have even purgedm removed and re-installed the update-manager but still to no avail.
apt-get must be working - it let me uninstall and reinstall the software updater
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
