Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS is on my spare laptop, so I hadn't used the OS in
about two weeks, which is when I had last updated it. I do not use the
update feature that requires logging in when I'm in an insecure
environment for password use. I was about to use the laptop again, so I
checked for updates and Ubuntu said there was nothing new. I put it to
sleep and woke it about 30-60 minutes later, somewhere else, where my
session time could be short. When I logged into a WiFi network, a dialog
said there are updates and asked if I want them now.
What I expect: If there is an update at a Ubuntu server or mirror,
Ubuntu will say so when asked, not only half an hour later.
Of course, it's possible that when I check there is no update but if I
check half an hour later there will be an update. That's a different
situation and completely acceptable. But if telling me that there's an
update will take half an hour, tell me that it'll take a while, but
don't tell me right away that there's nothing.
This event happened in late May. I saw the list of packages but don't
know which one applies. No crash occurred on my platform. The dialog
from ubuntu-bug had nothing relevant to an update (I understand upgrade
is different), so I selected Other, resulting in nothing informative.
ubuntu-bug --help didn't lead to an answer, either.
