The software updater is showing 1.3mb of software to be downloaded, but there is no description. The main window area is blank. Should this worry me?

Any errors? Might be useful to throw the output to a log file and review the logs. That would be :Code:sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade
GUI programs often lie.Code:sudo apt update |tee /tmp/log.update sudo apt upgrade |tee -a /tmp/log.update

Don't mind me, I'm only passing through.
Once in a blue moon, I'm actually helpful.
Thanks for the responses.
Yes to deadflower, that is exactly what it looks like.
I thought of doing a manual update / upgrade but my whole concern is that the system has been hacked. Massively unlikely I am sure, but surely this is just the kind of thing one should be cautious about. No?
This is the output of sudo apt update |tee /tmp/log.update

Nothing funny in that output.
Sorry, I am being dense. All that is obviously ok. And that I assume is what would normally be in the gui.
So that is all I need to know.
Thanks.
