Bug Description

[Impact]

If one deselects all packages, the "Install Now" button disappears, which makes sense (on another note it would make even more sense if it was simply grayed out). However when one or more packages are then re-selected, the button won't ever reappear, and update-manager must be restarted in order to upgrade any packages.

[Test case]

*If 'apt list --upgradable' is empty, downgrade any one package in your system.
*ua detach --assume-yes
*apt install hello
*update-manager
-There will be at least one update available, and the hello package will be unavailable under the 'Ubuntu Pro security updates' section.
*De-select all available packages.
-The 'install now' button disappears.
*Select at least one available package.
-The 'install now' button should reappear.

[Where things could go wrong]

Things could go wrong with the 'install now' button. It should be visible when there is any available package selected and not visible when there is none selected.

Here the window simply goes unresponsive and segfaults. Won't submit crash files, Whoopsie wants me to upgrade the entire system before doing so.

I think you got segfaults because you hit bug #2027941 (or #2041831, the "secret" report, dunno which one should be made duplicate). I guess you used a mouse click to deselect :) If you use the spacebar to deselect, you can probably reproduce this bug.

Nathan, now that 2041831/2027941 has been fixed, I hope you can come back to this and reproduce the issue.

Can't reproduce, here the button is simply turned grey, do you see anything in the screen shot that is not there in your case?

Do you have "You need to enable Ubuntu Pro to install these updates." written in the program? Can you please send in a screen shot?

The message "You need to enable Ubuntu Pro to install these updates." is written exactly when the button disappears, or actually at any time that no packages are selected any longer.
