I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Server in a virtual machine under vSphere. Network and Internet connection is good (can ping Google and can SSH to the server).
When I log in I see:
139 packages can be updated
94 updates are security updates
"apt-get update" and "aptitude update" seem to do what they should (hits for many urls).
If I type "apt-get upgrade" it prints:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
If I type "aptitude safe-upgrade" or "aptitude dist-upgrade" it prints:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
No packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

If I log out and back in I see"
139 packages can be updated
94 updates are security updates
Where am I going wrong?
