  ii  update-notifier 0.61           Daemon which notifies about package updates
  It happend that I could not find a program description of the programs 'update notifier' and 'apt-check'. (My hard disk suddenly started working while I did not operate the keyboard. I tried to explore the reason by running top.)
  The python script 'apt-check' is a badly commented script.
