Comment 54 for bug 1211511

I encountered this bug for the first time today on Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" after a problematic partial update of the kernel and gambas3. It appeared to complete the upgrade, removing a number of obsolete packages and upgrading others. After rebooting, the Update Manager still thinks it needs to fetch 207 KB of files, but the list is empty. See the screenshot at http://i.stack.imgur.com/hoOA8.png

 When I run "sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal window, the system responds:

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Running the command in the terminal does not clear the problem. When I run Update Manager again, it still thinks it needs to fetch 207 kilobytes of files. If it is just a bookkeeping error, I sure would like to know how to clear the flag manually and set the byte count to zero.
