Not a big problem, but an irritant. Are others seeing this?<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div>No, that update came through and installed just fine on my systems (running "straight" Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity). I didn't have to interact with the updater at all, except to tell it to install all of them.</div><div><br></div><div>What "flavor" Ubuntu are you using? </div><div><br></div><div>Are you using update-manager (aka "Software Updater") or a different software update tool?</div></div><br></div></div>
</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I went back and found your other thread and you said the updater is showing the changelogs, and from your description it sounds like you are talking about update-manager. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Using that tool I find I have to click about three times to even DISPLAY the changelogs -- I do not know of a way to display them automatically. I wonder if our other discussion about viewing the changelogs using apt on the command line is relevant... Maybe you have an environment variable set that tells apt its default behavior outputs the changelogs, and it confuses update-manager scripts?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I just had a quick look through the update-manager code and man page and I don't see ANY option to intentionally display the changelog text... so if there's not an apt environment variable causing an issue, so maybe another possibility is some part of update-manager has gotten corrupted on your system somehow?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
