Qubes version is 4.0 - for more info I've attached the info from
'qubes manager' below.

No, not always. - But lately multiple updates have been requested for
dom-0, which I performed - but- the system did not provide any change
info ...

Is it still showing that updates are required?

No, currently there is no notification active about a required update for
dom-0.

I was looking for a problem with the update process.
There has been a long thread in the forum about why you should use the
updated tool instead of updating locally. In brief, it's used to apply
other things (e.g. configuration changes) besides raw updates.

Because the updater does more than just update, it is possible that
there are things not applied.

What's the situation here? What Qubes version are you on? Do you mean
that dom0 is always marked a requiring updates in the updater tool?
Is it still showing that updates are required?

Can you please elaborate a bit more! - What were you looking for?

   - Why is 'qubes updater' notified in the first place, if nothing needs 
   to be done? - OR -
   

   - If something got done 'locally', why isn't at least a minimal 
   information about the performed activity returned?

This inconsistency / uncertainty is confusing (at least to me ).

Same behaviour happened again just now!

Is there any way to get more information (i.e. announcements, logs, 
notifications etc.)?

Have you "blacklisted" any packages.  I get the same messages as above
but that is because I have told RPM to ignore the intel video driver 
update - it hangs my screen after a random time interval.
