I did a fresh-install of 16.04 on my desktop and the update manager seems to be
working as intended regarding the update reports before and after they get
applied. That might suggest that the 15.10 -> 16.04 update process is not
properly taking care of updating certain things, at least in some situations.

This is probably stating the obvious, but it looks like there's a clear need
for improvement in the 'regular update channels'. Having to 'live with it'
while waiting for months, or even over a year, for full releases for basic
usability seems like a stretch, to put it politely, especially when KDE markets
itself as user friendly. (The point here is not to say that KDE is "not user
friendly" due to some bug. Rather, that highly visible bugs can cause more
frustration, especially on new users determining their future expectations from
their basic experience.)

Before being handed the often standard "there's nothing we can do" response,
please think a bit harder about it. Being so involved in the process, there's
probably someone you know, or someone you know who knows someone, who might be
able to not only acknowledge the inefficiency, but have the ability to at least
start a wider discussion to see what sort of solutions might be proposed, and
perhaps even adopted.

Still, some users can grow more annoyed/frustrated than others and might choose
to stop using KDE altogether. (Small bugs do have a larger cumulative effect,
after all.)

Appreciate the work and effort BTW.
