Public bug reported:

I got a lot of security updates, but those were impossible to install
("..not succesful.."). My sysinfo shows:

Release: Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty)
Kernel: 3.13.0-85-generic (#129-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 17 20:50:41 UTC 2016)
GCC-Version: 4.8 (i686-linux-gnu)
Xorg-Version: 1.15.1 (12 February 2015  02:49:46PM)
Hostname: wolfgang-ThinkPad-R60

Is it helpful for you?
I can work then with the Laptop as usual, but just can't get Updates.
