*** security concern ***

I did now check on an up-to-date Lucid installation, which had no
updates (not booted) since 2 weeks. Definitely there are several
security updates pending (I did install them on my working PC with 'apt-
get update && apt-get upgrade). These are the recent security updates
for CUPS.

Here the output as requested by Michael Vogt in posting #1 of this
thread:

i...@lucid:~$ ps ax|grep update-notifier
 1462 ?        S      0:00 update-notifier
 1471 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto update-notifier
i...@lucid:~$ killall update-notifier ; update-notifier --debug-updates
** (update-notifier:1474): DEBUG: Skipping reboot required
(update-notifier:1474): update-DEBUG: update_apt_is_running: 1

(update-notifier:1474): update-DEBUG: update_apt_is_running: 0

(update-notifier:1474): update-DEBUG: update_apt_is_running: 1

(update-notifier:1474): update-DEBUG: update_apt_is_running: 0


I did now wait for several hours and did not get any notification, nor any 
pop-up on the GNOME-desktop. The only thing I did notice is a very short 
flickering in the notification area of the gnome-panel shortly (some minutes 
after) boot-up.

This definitely is a security issue, because it prevents immediate
installation of security-updates!

If you need more information or prefer to report a new/separate bug,
please let me know.
