Title:
  force reminder to install when I want

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
