Just so happens that there's another kernel update today. The notifier icon tooltip says there are 11 updates. Opening KPackageKit shows 7 updates total, 1 normal, 2 security, and 4 blocked. Here's the output of dist-upgrade:
The following NEW packages will be installed: linux-headers-2.6.28-14 linux-headers-2.6.28-14-generic linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-14-generic The following packages will be upgraded: dhcp3-client dhcp3-common linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-common linux-restricted-modules-generic 7 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. If I install the non-blocked updates, the icon tooltip changes to 8 updates (after restarting update-notifier-kde, anyway), and dist-upgrade shows the output I would expect: The following NEW packages will be installed: linux-headers-2.6.28-14 linux-headers-2.6.28-14-generic linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-14-generic The following packages will be upgraded: linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic 4 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Maybe update-notifier is counting both the packages that will be updated and the new packages that need to be installed to satisfy the dependencies? If so, I guess it isn't really a bug with update-notifier. In that case, should I file a separate bug for KPackageKit not handling dist-upgrade, or just reassign this one? -- update-notifier and apt-get disagree on available updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388533 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
