Bug#43368: gnome-apt: gnome-apt does not mark any packages for upgrading
Package: gnome-apt
Version: 0.3.4
Severity: normal
After an update, there is a beep. The update appears to have been
assimilated, since apt-get sees the updated package files, but gnome-apt
refuses to mark anything for upgrade (or smart upgrade).
This error has been happening for a couple of weeks.
These are the final messages at the end of updating:
Fail http://www.mirror.ac.uk potato/contrib Release
Hit http://www.mirror.ac.uk potato/non-free Sources
Fail http://www.mirror.ac.uk potato/non-free Release
