For more then 2 months the packages python3-update-manager, update-manager and update-manager-core are ready for upgrading according to synaptic.
But according to software-updater theres nothing to update.
How come it takes this long?
Is this a bug or are the develepors still working on these 3 packages?
I'm using Xubuntu 16.04.5
Regards.

Run

sudo apt update
apt list --upgradable
to confirm which is right, synaptic or update manager.

apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
python3-update-manager/xenial-updates,xenial-updates 1:16.04.13 all [upgradable from: 1:16.04.12]
update-manager/xenial-updates,xenial-updates 1:16.04.13 all [upgradable from: 1:16.04.12]
update-manager-core/xenial-updates,xenial-updates 1:16.04.13 all [upgradable from: 1:16.04.12]

Same thing as synaptic.
Guess they have to be tested.

That means they are ready now:

Ok, thanks for the quick answer.
I'm gonna wait until software-updater passes them.

Just suppose for a moment that the software-updater is not working right and there are security fixes just waiting to be installed but the software-updater is not showing you that....software-updater is just a front end for package management.
"sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
I am just not a fan of gui-package-handlers>>>Just a happy terminal user here.
But as you wish. ;)

Ok got it.
I always use software-updater.
It works cause i still get other updates from it.
Software-updater is the reason why i use ubuntu.
