Similar problem here. But I use generally synaptic and update-manager
through update-notifier applet.
$ ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodic
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-05-07 00:46 download-upgradeable-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-04-29 07:53 update-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-04-29 09:05 update-success-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-05-07 00:46 upgrade-stamp
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15update-stamp
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: {"touch
/var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>/dev/null || true";};
My theory is that 'touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp' is
executed only when no problem occurs while downloading package
information. No matter if it was invoked by Synaptic's Update button or
by update-notifiers 'Check for updates' option. I had some third party
repositories added. Sometimes repository indexes are fetched without any
problem, sometimes they don't because of timeout (or maybe they don't
exist yet - hardy is just released).
Yess. My theory seems to be correct. When just one of the repository
indexes fails to be fetched, that file isn't touched. I tried to disable
repository which is having this problem. Voila. Command 'touch
/var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp' gets executed after 'Check
for updates'.
Signature of repository needn't to be verified, but repository index
must be fetched.
This behavior can be reproduced by clicking Cancel while downloading
repository indexes (update information).
After disabling repository which was failing:
$ ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodic
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-05-07 00:46 download-upgradeable-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-04-29 07:53 update-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-05-07 19:10 update-success-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-05-07 00:46 upgrade-stamp
