[Bug 766827] Re: motd not updating
Re-reading the problem in #14 I think a recent change to the xenial
version of the package fixes the issue.
* debian/99update-notifier:
- Now additionally triggers the an asynchronous background update of the
cached info via update-motd-updates-available hooking into
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success.
debian/99update-notifier now contains the following line:
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"/usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-
updates-available 2>/dev/null || true";};
so once 'apt-get update' is run we'll generate a new stamp file.

We also need to add additional functionality on top to detect when the pending packages have actually been installed.

[Bug 766827] Re: motd not updating
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 659738 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659738 It is not the same problem as bug #659738. The problem here is that /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates- available does if [ $(find /$StateDir/$ListDir /$EtcDir/$SourceList -type f -newer $stamp -print -quit) ]; then NEED_UPDATE_CHECK=yes fi So it checks in /var/lib/apt/lists if there are any files more newly updated than /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available , and if there are it generates a new /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available . However, the timestamps on the files in /var/lib/apt/lists are kept in sync with the timestamps on the mirrors, and do not indicate when an apt-get update was last run. So the following can happen: 1) A new package appears on the mirrors, and the timestamp on the mirrors is updates 2) A new /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available is generated on my computer 3) I run apt-get update on my computer In that case, /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available will see /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available as having a newer timestamp than the package lists, and will therefore not update /var/lib /update-notifier/updates-available. The simplest fix is to have update-motd-updates-available just store the package list directory listing with full time stamps.
