[Bug 525674] Re: apt-check hangs, preventing login via SSH

[Scott Moser]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: update-notifier
  
  While investigating protracted hangs in the remote login process, I
  noticed that apt-check is called to update the list of available updates
  and print the number of updatable packages in the MOTD. As it so
  happens, apt-check often hangs in mid-update, which effectively prevents
  remote login via SSH from taking place.
