Bug Description

New install of Karmic on solid state disk, Intel core two, plenty of RAM. No swap; I'll add that later on rotating disk. After install, it said 150-odd upgrades were needed. Java was the only one that failed. I did accept the license.

After getting the failure message, I did some checking. Update manager says my system is up to date, even after reloading. The ubuntu software center shows "Sun Java 6 Runtime" as installed, does not offer to let me upgrade it. I'm confused. Is the upgrade software confused too?
