software updater

When I run apt-get in a terminal, however, I get:

    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

    sudo apt-get upgrade 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

What's going on? Why does software updater show updates not installable through the command line?

If apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't work try one of the following until the problem resolves itself:

apt-get upgrade -f # continue upgrade even after error

or

apt-get dist-upgrade -f # continue dist-upgrade even after error
