For what porpoise?

that's what you get for using Ubuntu.

one to control the settings and the other to do the updates?

One is the updater and one is the settings for the updates. Idiot.

You're an idiot.

Hurrdurr ones settings and ones updates. The same can be said for windows 2 control panels dipstick. It's definitely poorly named

One is the program that fetches updates from the repos and automates the install and one is how you set which repos you want to grab updates from. Two entirely different tools and useful if you don't want to finger those repos into a textfile.
