Is there a default Update Manager for Kubuntu? If there isn't can I install the Ubuntu Update Manager?
I know I can use
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
but sometimes I get something like:
0 to install 0 to remove, 0 new, 0 upgraded and 3 not upgraded
Any way to fix this?
Thanks.

Kubuntu & Muon
Kubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative. Information for Kubuntu can be found on the Kubuntu homepage. The Kubuntu 11.10 release notes says:
The kubuntu-desktop package is recommending (installing as default):
muon, package manager for KDE
muon-installer, utility for browsing, installing, and removing applications
muon-notifier, update notifier for KDE
The package muon is also recommending the muon-updater, an update manager for KDE.
The latest information of the Muon can be found from the developer's blog.
Apt - upgrade and dist-upgrade
The "not upgraded" packages could need to install some new packages. The "upgrade" action can't do this.
The apt manual page (
man apt-get
):upgrade will
dist-upgrade will
So, the
apt-get dist-upgrade
command may remove some packages...
