[PLUG-TALK] Ubuntu 10.04 Update Manager strangeness

[Richard C. Steffens]

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. This morning the Update Manager tells me I 
need to install "Important security updates" to dbus, dbus-x11, and 
libdbus-1-3. I click on "Install Updates", enter my password, and now, 
of course, everything works just fine. That's not what happened the 
first three attempts. During the first three tries, after entering my 
password I watched it say something to the effect of "downloading files" 
and then do nothing. I just had the same "Important security updates" 
window that I started with. I was stepping through the process the 
fourth time, so I'd have the messages correct for this e-mail, when it 
decided it would go ahead and do what it normally does.

I've not seen this behavior before. Is it something that I should be 
concerned about? Or, should I not waste time trying to figure out why it 
happened this way, this time?

Thanks.
