Latest Updates

[Anthony Gardner]

this is my last top post on the subject. (never been asked to stop that b4 but whatever)

if ubuntu could come up with a common update / package manager that behaves the same on all distos  ... kudos. I'd use it ........ you don't have to.

sorry if i've upset anyone with this post and, just an aside, i doubt if i'll be going to any parties where we stand around talking/joking about the diff between pkg managers on ubuntu.

update-manager tells you different things because it's not the same program.

This is a nice joke to tell at parties, thanks for it. Yes, in an
ideal world, KDE, GNOME and other programs _should_ give you the same
information. However, implementation details aren't ideal, and
sometimes don't.

The same engine _is_ used by all 'buntus: apt-get. The
"unauthenticated repositories" doesn't appear because it's created by
the GUI, it's something apt-get passes to the GUI, unless they've
managed to seriously fsck up things in Kubuntu (don't use it, can't
tell) and implement YAPM. I doubt it, since AdePT rings a faint "apt"
bell. That the GUI decides whether to tell you or not is quite another
thing.

Are you sure it's the linux-headers package that's not authenticated,
and not some other repository there? Because I'd bet it's some
different repo that's showing there, and that you don't have in
Ubuntu.
