Hi Michael,

Here is what I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

which I imagine means that everything is ok. Which is not surprising 
given that apt-get, synaptic etc... work fine on my system.

Since posting the bug report, I have fixed the problem using the "brute 
force" technique of deleting my account, recreating it and copying my 
files (but not the gnome and other desktop config files etc...) Needless 
to say I wouldn't like to have to do this after each distribution upgrade...

My guess is that for some reason, the config for the gnome notification 
area (wherever that is) got changed somehow and by default then never 
allowed notifications from the update-notifier to appear. Does this make 
sense?

cheers

Stephane
