(My system speaks to me in Japanese, so the messages below are my translations.)

that's a big issue :-)

 

apt-get update pulled down its usual mix of stuff, then apt-get upgrade tells me

linux-base linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 linux-libc-dev

will be upgraded, but,

3 packages to upgrade,
0 B of archive to download out of 28.7 MB

and after I told it to proceed, reads the changelog and goes to the setup stage without downloading.

What should I understand happened here? Is the upgrade entirely contained in the update? Or is something wrong with my package manager?

This usually means that all your packages have already been dowloaded, have a look at /var/cache/apt/archives, they should be there
