Running that perl script showed that update notifier is probably getting confused by log rotation! It's telling me that it won't run update manager because /var/log/dpkg.log is too new... even when the darn file is only new because the log was rotated and is zero size. I'm attaching a (bad) patch showing how this might be worked around.
I think this is an old bug, only exposed in Jaunty because of the change to not showing nonsecurity updates for a week. Don't know how much of the problem this explains, but it does seem to explain the behavior of two systems I have access to, at least today. ** Attachment added: "update-notifier.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28604989/update-notifier.patch -- update-manager doesn't show updates, even after 1 week https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356152 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
