I tried reinstalling all of the "upgradeable" packages in synaptic.<br><br>Result - update-manager now always reports >=6 packages are upgradeable, and will upgrade most packages.<br><br>There are six packages which update-manager thinks are upgradeable, but synaptic thinks are up to date, these are: -
<br><br>evolution<br>evolution-common<br>evolution-data-server<br>evolution-data-server-common<br>evolution-plugins<br>libedata-book1.2-2<br><br><br>If I try to reinstall these in synaptic, they are still not recognized as being up-to-date by update-manager.
<br><br>The tool is at least usable now, though it is reporting false information.<br><br>
