System details page not aware of phased-updates

It looks like unity-control-center uses package kit to determine whether or not updates are available, but I'm not 100% certain.

unity-control-center does use package kit to determine this - is the package kit interface of apt-daemon wrong or should it be using something else?

The phased-updates implementation is currently only available in update-manager. Back when it was discussed the rational was that users of advanced tools like apt/aptdcon would still get their normal upgrades.

So in order to fix this it needs to get ported to aptdaemon - what mechanism is unity-control-center using? The PK session or system interface?

"System details page not aware of phased-updates". I want to add, maybe
this will help, Update-manager found no new package for upgrade as i said
but when i used synaptic manager and try "mark all upgrade" it detected
some packages for upgrade. After upgrading using synaptic manager, system
settings was reporting "System is up to date".

Thanks

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi!

I might add my observations as well.

- Added VLC to repository then proceeded on doing "Go to system settings > details page. On bottom right corner, (checking for updates)" = system up to date.

- sudo apt-get update via Terminal then proceeded on doing "Go to system settings > details page. On bottom right corner, (checking for updates)" = install updates.

- Added qBittorrent to repository then proceeded on doing "Go to system settings > details page. On bottom right corner, (checking for updates)" = system up to date.

- sudo apt-get update Terminal then proceeded on doing "Go to system settings > details page. On bottom right corner, (checking for updates)" = install updates.

Thank you
