I use Ubuntu 12.04.2 and I've just finished running apt-get update. According to apt-get upgrade, there are 5 packages to be upgraded, in a total of 1533 kB; while the update manager indicates there are 52,8 MB in 13 pacakges.
Why the discrepancy? (also, why apt-get upgrade says 4 packages won't be upgraded?)
