All, I find that using check_apt works, however, it requires that apt-get update be run periodically.
This seems to be standard on Ubuntu Desktop, however, Ubuntu server does not seem to have this enabled by default. If you add a job to cron.daily it should resolve it.

I am not using check_apt but I note that this below has been released (early code): http://nagios-aptwatch.alioth.debian.org/ Maybe check_apt does not work right now? There's also this: http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/nagios/ I will check all these sometime soon...
