Only "works" in a limited sense, meaning it's not useful:

[reg [EMAIL PROTECTED] name]:~$ update-notifier --force
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
 5756 ?        00:00:04 pulseaudio

Cursor sits just below the last line with no indication of further
processing.  Yes the icon appears, however, if I stop the process
[Ctl-C] the notifier icon disappears.

I tried these options, without success too:

[reg [EMAIL PROTECTED] name]:~$ /usr/bin/python 
/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --force
Usage: apt-check [options]

apt-check: error: no such option: --force

[reg [EMAIL PROTECTED] name]:~$ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/update-notifier --force
/usr/bin/python: '/usr/lib/update-notifier' is a directory, cannot continue

and this too failed:

[reg [EMAIL PROTECTED] name]:~$ /usr/bin/python update-notifier --force
/usr/bin/python: can't open file 'update-notifier': [Errno 2] No such file or 
directory

A.K.A. clutching at straws.  If you have any other suggestions I will be
glad to try them.

Thanks  for the interest, it helps knowing it should work.
