[Bug 2008661] [NEW] Software Updater keeps popping up when there is no update

[Karl]

Public bug reported:

The software updater keeps popping up with the message "The software on
this computer is up to date."

I only expect to see this once, after a successful update, not again and
again, because it requires no action. When I click "Ok" on it I expect
that updater remains silent until it has a software update for me. This
used to be the case, only now I find it alerting me repeatedly that
there is no update.

Running Ubuntu 20.04.5

the last update included update-notifier:amd64 (3.192.30.11,
3.192.30.16), update-notifier-common:amd64 (3.192.30.11, 3.192.30.16)

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Attachment added: "screenshot of updater telling me there is nothing to do"
