[Bug 356152] Re: update-manager doesn't show updates, even after 1 week

[ubuntu-tester]

Hello Matthew Paul Thomas. Thanks for your answer. 
If I turn off automatic installation of security updates, I will be notified immediatly of security updates, and other updates will be notified at the same time (default behaviour of update manager). I don't know if it's possible to turn off notification of security updates, do you know ?

But this logic bug seems to have been already identified in this bug
report in 2009 ;)

"This maybe a usability bug. update-notiifer just checks when the last apt/dpkg action was performed
and calcualtes the 7 days based on that. But from a user perspective installing a new software and
installing a update is something different so it may not be clear why update-manager does not appear
in this situation."

"Since Add/Remove is currently incapable of installing updates, and
therefore using Add/Remove doesn't mean you've decided to defer updates,
it would be nice to exclude use of Add/Remove from resetting the 7-day
timer."

Title:
  update-manager doesn't show updates, even after 1 week

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-notifier

  This report is not a duplicate of bug #332945.

  I upgraded to Jaunty beta on Wed 25 March. According to the desired
  behaviour described in bug #332945 and elsewhere, update-manager
  should notify me at least once a week to tell me about updates.  I
  have had no notification since I upgraded 13 days ago (and have not
  installed any updates since Beta).
