Five Update Managers


Hi
Since a recent upgrade I noticed that I have five different Update Managers.
I've typed below all that I see in my Synaptic-

- One is Hildon application that manages apt updates
- Two is Text application that manages updates
-Three is Core that manages release upgrades
-Four is Gnome application that manages apt updates and
The fifth one is KDE that supports modules for update Notifier KDE

How do I know which one to mark for re-installation?

The only application you really need to upgrade your system is apt-get. If you want to use one of the others just choose the tool you like the most.
