[Bug 2148611] Re: No way to enable the update indicator

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package update-notifier - 3.207

---------------
update-notifier (3.207) resolute; urgency=medium

  * update-notifier: Require and set accessible descriptions on indicators.
    Any indicator we show in the panel is exposed to screen readers as
    "update-notifier", no matter what and it's very hard to understand what
    is its content. Especially when "tooltips" (inaccessible to readers) are
    used.
    So force the tray applet API to use an accessible description and set
    it for all the indicators.
    Do not use new strings, not to break the UI freeze, but some cases may
    be improved in future. (LP: #891421)
  * update: Obey settings to show the updates icon (LP: #2148611)
