I must say that this is kind of confusing, considering the help screen:
(...)
        patches, pch            List patches
        list-updates, lu        List updates
        xml-updates, xu         List updates and patches in xml format

As we have "list-updates" and "patches", it isn't straightforward for a beginner
to guess that "list-updates" (by default) just lists patches.

Thanks for the help. It worked.
