Ahh.. ok, I see!

But where is this behaviour documented?

update-notifier does not have a man-page and
/usr/share/doc/update-notifier/README does not explain it ("notify only
for security updates").

[Bug 1560411] Re: update-notifier does not show new updates in xubuntu 16.04

2016-03-22 Thread Steve Langasek
Thanks for the report. The debug output shows that this is working as
designed:

 (update-notifier:4752): update-DEBUG: /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check 
returned 50 (security: 0)
[...]
 (update-notifier:4752): update-DEBUG: interval_days: 7
[...]

You have zero pending security updates. When there are no security
updates, the behavior of update-notifier is to only prompt for updates
once every 7 days.  However, the timestamps on your logs show that you
have updated packages on the system only a day ago.  So even though new
packages are available, you would not be prompted to install them for
another 6 days, in order to keep the update-notifier nagging to a
minimum.
