John -

You are correct!  I have a very similar problem with Edgy.
My update this morning via "System/Administration/Update Manager"
left 3 grayed-out entries.  They are difficult to read, unchecked and
I can't check or remove them.

I installed my system with the alternate CD and did nothing
fancy.  Simply added packages via "System/Administration/
Synaptic Package Manager"

Obviously there is a problem that we must wait for the folks
at Ubuntu to fix.
