Another case:
update-notifier says there's one update available, but when I double-click to
open update-manager, it says I'm up to date.
apt-get update agrees with update-manager
apt-get dist-upgrade says I have one *NEW* package to install, dash.
update-manager has an optional command line
The aptitude dist-upgrade command did not install any additional
packages for me.
I worked around this bug by using the context menu over the task bar
icon and selecting the Install all updates command. It installed
diffutils in my case. The icon then mercifully disappeared.

Looks like the culprit is the python script that update-notifier
launches to discover if there are updates available:
$ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check -p
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
clone 492863 -1
retitle -1 update-manager: does not install packages that 'apt-get
dist-upgrade' would install
reassign -1 update-manager
block by -1
thanks

I had this same problem. Update-notifier indicated that 2 updates were
available even though both aptitude and synaptic (via Show Updates option in
update-notifer menu) indicated that there were no outstanding updates.
I then chose the option install updates from the update-notifier menu and
I confirm that 'install all updates' installs the two packages, thus it
resolves the problem.
I keep not understanding why update-notifier want to install these two
packages.
For instance: no package on my computer depends on camlp4. The single
installed package that refers to camlp4 is
Package: update-notifier

Update-notifier used to work perfectly. Since a moment the tray icon do not
disappear any more and keeps displaying There are 2 updates available.
However, my system is up-to-date (the 2 remaining updates are after a
