14.04 seems subject to bug 1046563 with update-manager/notifier

[bapoumba]

Hello,

thanks for the email, I was about to post one.

First off, I'd like to apologize for silently joining the list a few weeks
back. So hello, you'll mainly find me on the forums :)

I've added a few things to the forums thread, and linked the bug report
here https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/main
I've also added "trusty" to the title.

Now I'm not that familiar with update-manager (software-updater) and not
sure where to look at to troubleshoot and add useful information.
To me, the biggest issue is the discrepancy between apt-get upgrade and
software updater.

Would anyone know ?

Have a good day !
