That would be because the update checker/notifier is written in python, making it slow and bloated. I'm rewriting it to be a teensy tiny C++ KDE daemon module for 10.04.
Anyway, the problem where the cron job has the wrong permissions on upgrade isn't update-notifier-kde's fault. It never directly interacts with it at all. I'm moving the bug to apt in hopes that the apt gurus have a better idea of how this could happen. (And also the cron job comes from the apt package) ** Package changed: update-notifier-kde (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Auto Update Check doesn't work after Upgrading to 9.04 + Auto Update Check doesn't work after Upgrading to 9.04 (wrong permissions for cron job) -- Auto Update Check doesn't work after Upgrading to 9.04 (wrong permissions for cron job) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438025 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
