[Bug 1217843] Re: Software Updater won't display updates

[Seth Arnold]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  Software Updater won't display updates

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is the second time that its happened, where the update-manager
  does not display what updates its installing, but will display that is
  is about to download x amount of kilobytes.  I want to know what I am
  putting on my computer. Please look into this because this could be a
  way to deliver malware onto ones computer without anyone knowing.  I
  am marking this as a security vulnerability.
