Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Update Manager opened in a minimised state. I noticed it was open, and
it reported there were 31 updates available. I figured it had probably
been a while since it opened, so clicked "Check" to get it more up-to-
date. It then reported there were zero updates available. I closed it.
This wasn't a very useful experience.
So, let's look at why this happened: I don't tend to use update-manager
to manage my packages. It had probably been open for a couple days (I
don't tend to reboot or shut down), and I would have noticed the
available updates in byobu, and installed them without having ever
noticed update-manager having been launched. (when I notice it
launched, I tend to press "Check" to get updates faster than the regular
however many days). This is entirely expected behaviour.
What I think *should* happen is that if update-manager is running, and
the user has not interacted with it in some time (maybe a couple hours),
it ought see if the apt cache has been updated since it last checked,
and if so, check again to make sure there are still updates, and if
there are none, close itself silently.
