I had the same problem. I started with 7.04, upgraded in early October, then kept getting bugged about upgrading every day.
In what seemed to be an unrelated error, I also noticed that I was getting the following error message when I did a "sudo apt-get update": Fetched 81.7kB in 0s (259kB/s) Reading package lists... Done W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems So I googled around a bit to find a solution to this problem and found this solution: # Retrieve the ubuntu key with wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net, store it in my keyring gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 437D05B5 # Add the retrieved key along with other existing keys sudo apt-key add ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg # apt-get update without cache to force the use of the newly added key sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True In my case, I had to change the ownership of ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg from root to myself. But the key import worked fine and this fixed the bad apt-get key problem. When I did another "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", suddenly it found more updates: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists...

I am still installing these changes right now, so I can not verify that this fixes the update-daily problem, but it is consistent with what others are seeing: you keep getting pestered until adept is updated -- and something is holding adept back. In my case, it looked like it was the keys.
