Lots of updates today in Ubuntu 9.10

I'm not all that upset about the way Ubuntu 9.10 has been notifying users about upgrades to the system with the Update Manager popping up on the screen whenever it seemingly feels like (as opposed to showing an icon on the upper panel in versions before 9.04), but I have been semi-regularly using Aptitude in the terminal to check for updates on my own.

I just did one now:

$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude upgrade

and got the following output:

The following packages will be upgraded:

That's a whole lot of updates. I'm too lazy to check exactly why each individual package is being updated, but the fix for Rhythmbox doesn't appear to resolve the issue for which I've already found the solution (removing and reinstalling the app).

Here's what changed for Rhythmbox:

* debian/patches/05_brasero_burn_xml.patch:
- Fix Brasero project

Other than this, there are a whole lot of GNOME packages being updated. Even the Update Manager itself is being updated in this flurry of patches. I'll confess that the changelog for this package didn't mean a whole lot to me.
