I similarly encountered this bug when upgrading to Jaunty, but of course cannot reproduce now.
I think the issue is that the dist-upgrade sets the new repositories, and update-manager then sees all the new versions of packages and alerts you! When I canceled the upgrade at one point (and it set the sources back), the alert disappeared. -- "Updates available" notification icon appears during OS upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144427 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
