We thought that /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d was the place where applications that wanted to use the update-notifier infrastructure should drop a file. Our application required an specific action to be run by the user upon upgrade, thus we dropped a file mimicking how the firefox package does it. The weird part starts here, we found no virtual difference between the way firefox dropped that file there and our way, yet our popup never appeared. Once we started debugging it, we found out that it wouldn't be shown until "touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg- run-stamp".
If u-n shouldn't be used by third-party apps, it should be stated somewhere. If it can be used by third party apps, what are we missing here that the touch command is needed? -- u-n does not process a file dropped in /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d until dpkg-run-stamp was written https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
