[Bug 436749] Re: update-manager/-notifier: falsely claims that update information is outdated

[Satchit Bhogle]

I have a similar problem, except that it still says, "The package
information was last updated 52 days ago". It also does not report any
error in the GUI. The terminal repeatedly throws up this error:
"(update-manager:24666): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_pointer:
assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed"

Title:
  update-manager/-notifier: falsely claims that update information is
  outdated

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  In Karmic.

  There is a notification-area icon (from update-notifier?) which claims
  that “The update information is outdated”  This is not correct; I’ve
  (manually) updated the package list earlier today, using aptitude.

  In addition, when I click on the icon, update-manager is of launched.
  It claims “The package information was last updated 8 days ago.”  This
  is of course also incorrect.

  In Software Sources, I have “Automatic updates” set to check for
  updates daily.

  If I click “Check” in update manager, it will report that “The package
  information was last updated less than one hour ago.” but the icon
  will eventually return, despite the fact that I manually check for
  updates approximately daily.
