** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: update-manager
- 
  In Karmic.
  
  There is a notification-area icon (from update-notifier?) which claims
  that “The update information is outdated”  This is not correct; I’ve
  (manually) updated the package list earlier today, using aptitude.
  
  In addition, when I click on the icon, update-manager is of launched.
  It claims “The package information was last updated 8 days ago.”  This
  is of course also incorrect.
  
  In Software Sources, I have “Automatic updates” set to check for updates
  daily.
  
  If I click “Check” in update manager, it will report that “The package
  information was last updated less than one hour ago.” but the icon will
  eventually return, despite the fact that I manually check for updates
  approximately daily.
+ 
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#alert>: "Status of software
+ updates should never be presented in the menu bar or a notification
+ bubble."

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
