- perhaps you have automatic upgrades set up on Gnome? there should be some record in /var/log/apt or /var/log/dpkg.log of what is being updated. - if you have a fast enough connection it doesn't hurt to make sure /var/lib/apt/lists files are consistent (i have erased them and redownloaded at times to get through strange apt-get issues). - if you have been messing with apt preferences you may have messed that up. dunno what you've been up to. - there aren't any updates to apply at this time. songbird
