[Bug 1222096] Re: "Software Updater" popup displays every hour

[Brian Murray]

A regular-auto-launch-interval of 0 means that update-manager will
launch as soon as updates are available.  With update-notifier's lack of
support for phased-updates it is likely that the notification is due to
an update undergoing phasing which update-manager chooses not to
install, hence the message your system is up to date.

One way to confirm this would be to include the output of 'apt-get
upgrade' in a terminal.

Title:
  "Software Updater" popup displays every hour

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

Bug description:
  Since yesterday, the "Software Updater" popup is displayed about hourly, no matter whether there are updates available. It'll usually only read "The software on this computer is up to date.", I'll click "OK" and an hour or so later it pops up again.
  Updating, if there are updates, works fine, so it's not a big problem, but it's still annoying.
