Does anyone have a clue what this is about? How am I to check what is to be updated? update-manager 3 Answers Voted armipunk 2018-10-18T04:23:16+08:002018-10-18T04:23:16+08:00 I was getting this problem after upgrading to 18.04. Preparatory to sudo apt-get upgrade as noted above, I did sudo apt autoremove That resolved the problem for me and 'revealed' what updates were available for download.
