The only way I can get the button to become active is by clicking a checkbox on a package to be upgraded.  If the package is already selected, then deselecting it will activate the button. I can then click the checkbox and reselect it and install.  Without clicking on at least one checkbox, whether it is checked or not by default, I am unable to click the Install Updates button.  I didn't notice this behavior prior to 0.200.0~rc4-1, and I don't recall if it happened immediately after upgrade.

This is a known problem and a fix is on its way, but the workaround you
mentioned works perfectly well and doesn't have any side-effects. As
this problem is a rather serious one I have changed the bug report's
severity to important.

You can expect a fix to this problem within the next week.

Regards,

Stephan
