Comment 13 for bug 437094

philinux: thanks for your input, but I think your issue is a separate issue - please file a separate bug for it.

This bug was about when you click install, and then you get asked for your password twice just for clicking install. That no longer happens.

However, I think this bug may have been only partially fixed. I never get asked for the password twice when clicking install, but update-manager now only seems to do updates, it never seems to install new packages required by meta-packages that have been updated to have a new Depends: item. For example, update-manager leaves linux-image-generic greyed out when I do an update. I try doing

$ sudo aptitude install linux-image-generic

in a terminal and it works fine - so the new dependency is available, but update-manager refuses to install it. Do other people notice this behaviour? Should this be a new bug? Is it already a new bug?
