How can I solve the problem of an empty window for Software Updater?

Question

My Ubuntu 16.04 only displays an empty white window for the Software Updater:

I can run apt-get update without a problem:

...
Fetched 94,5 kB in 5s (17,1 kB/s)                  
Reading package lists... Done

Dis you try if a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade maybe solves this? Otherwise you might need to file a bug report. — Videonauth, May 21 '16 at 10:24
I have the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS but, in my case, updating via terminal did not solve it. @orschiro do you know which packages where updated in you system when this bug was solved? — Prolix, Jul 15 '16 at 09:02
@Prolix: unfortunately not. I am sorry. Maybe you can report this as a bug then? — orschiro, Jul 18 '16 at 05:16

This seems to be a bug, run and update via terminal (ctrl+alt+t) to fix this, you can do this with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
