[Bug 13191] Re: Can't see details/descriptions of updates anymore

[David M. Karr]

It seems pretty odd that I'm reporting a bug that was apparently fixed
many years ago, but the description of the original report matches
pretty closely to what I'm seeing.

The Update Manager renders a row for each package being updated, with a
little black right-pointing arrow, making it seem like I could click on
the arrow to expand it, but clicking the arrow does nothing.  If I
double-click it, it just unchecks the checkbox (for installing it).

I've been using Ubuntu for a while (but not quite as long as the
original reporter), and I know this used to work, even within the last
year.

Title:
  Can't see details/descriptions of updates anymore

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When you run the update manager, and it finds some packages that needs updating,
  you used to be able to click on them, and see, at the bottom of the window, a
  description of what a particular package does, by clicking the little arrow at
  below the list. 
  Clicking the arrow now doesn't show any details anymore.

  Screenshot attached : arrow is clicked/pointing down, but no detail is given,
  not even an empty text box, nothing.
