Here's a little perl script that tries to match exactly update-notifiers logic (from the one used in Karmic, I think, http://update-notifier.sourcearchive.com/documentation/0.78/update_8c-source.html ) It prints out why update manager's not going to be launched. I'll try to improve that to

Running that perl script showed that update notifier is probably getting confused by log rotation! It's telling me that it won't run update manager because /var/log/dpkg.log is too new... even when the darn file is only new because the log was rotated and is zero size. I'm attaching a (bad)

Hmm. /etc/cron.daily/apt will sleep for up to 1800 seconds (30 minutes), so it looks like there's a one-day lag built into the system. On the first day, /etc/cron.daily/apt updates the list of packages; on the next day, update-manager uses the updated list. Maybe we could get rid of that wasted

@Mario The system will make a apt-get update every day. If there is a security update it will auto-open update-manager on login. If there is no security update it will do nothing. If no updates have been applied for 7 days (or more) it will auto-open update-manager if updates are pending. --

David, no, the window does not appear frontmost if anything else is open, and that's not relevant to this bug report anyway. If you're using VNC to apply updates manually you should set Update Manager to not check automatically. -- update-manager doesn't show updates, even after 1 week

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. Since installing or uninstalling applications is not usually a frequent task,

So you seem to be saying that I installed something from Add/Remove and that reset the 7 day clock, and therefore I didn't get any notification about updates. Is that right? If so, I think there is more to this than that. I very well could be wrong, but I don't *think* I installed anything.
