Title:
  Software Updater List is Blank while there is 943.1 MB of Updates to
  Download while Returning from an 8 Weeks Vacations

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am returning from an 8 weeks vacations and my Ubuntu 16.04 system is
  showing me an empty list of updates while it is telling me there is
  943.1 MB of updates to download.

  When trying to update the system from Synaptic the Mark for Upgrade
  (right click) is working fine ...

  One hour ago the same problem was reported on AskUbuntu by another
  user

  list-16-04

  Why suddenly the Ubuntu Software Updater is not able to list all the
  updates ? nor update anything ?
