Strange. This is all under the control of libapt-pkg which is also used by
apt-get, so it should work if apt-get does. (Indeed, it sounds like it's
working but thinks it has nothing to download or install.) What happens if
you try to do the same actions with apt-get?

   - apt-get install foo is equivalent to marking a package for install,
     then "Complete Run"
  
   - apt-get dist-upgrade is equivalent to "Smart Mark Upgrades" then 
     "Complete Run"
