Hi All,
I have a problem with my update package manager. Two days ago I used Transmission to download a torrent and when it was complete shut the program down and went to bed leaving Ubuntu to go to screen saver. At that time it was displaying the little sun icon with 10 updates left, but next morning when I checked my computer it had changed to the red arrow head. Since my computer uses Gnome PPP to access the internet this was also shut down over night.
Highlighting the red arrow showed that there was one update available but when I clicked on it and started the update manager it showed 89 updates. I selected the most important updates relating to security and others hoping that it would sort it's self out but when it finished and I rebooted Ubuntu as required I still had the same red arrow but this time it was showing 3 updates. This is despite their being 29 left! I don't understand why it has suddenly gone haywire like this! Anyone have any ideas on what has happened and how to fix it?
