[Bug 1832953] [NEW] force reminder to install when I want

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I logged into a WiFi network with Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, a dialog said
there are updates and asked if I want them now. Time being potentially
too short, I clicked to Remind Me Later. I did some work, then put the
laptop to sleep and woke it about an hour later. At that time, I wanted
to apply the updates, but Ubuntu acted like there are none. I clicked
for the Files app to check and it said it was updated about 2 weeks ago,
with nothing new since then, contradicting the pending reminder. In the
Settings app, at Details > About, I clicked Check For Updates but
nothing happened. I do not use the update feature that requires logging
in. The next day the updates were offered. Perhaps (and this is just a
guess) I had to wait for Ubuntu to prepare another update in order for
me to get the pending ones I wanted to be reminded about.

What I expect: If I don't install updates but click to remind me later,
let me invoke and install from that pending reminder when I want. If the
process requires waiting for Ubuntu to prepare an additional update,
please drop that requirement.

This event happened in late May. I saw the list of packages but don't
know which one applies. No crash occurred on my platform. The dialog
from ubuntu-bug had nothing relevant to an update (I understand upgrade
is different), so I selected Other, resulting in nothing informative.
ubuntu-bug --help didn't lead to an answer, either.
