Title:
  update-manager should detect aptitude updates

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I'm a fairly heavy command line user, and generally update my system
  on the CLI with aptitude. However, every week (?), update-manager pops
  up and states that the package information was last updated 7 days
  ago. Shouldn't it detect that I have updated the system via aptitude
  and not worry about prompting for upgrades? Surely this could be done
  (at least) by checking the log files in /var/log/dpkg.log?
