I'm seeing this, too. The system in question was upgraded from an earlier version of ubuntu to 9.04.
Update Manager says "Your system is up to date. The package information was last updated 25 days ago." (!) $ ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodic total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-04-22 19:53 update-stamp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-05-18 09:08 update-success-stamp $ ls -l /etc/cron.daily/apt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8686 2009-04-16 21:27 /etc/cron.daily/apt That seems like a bug. How the heck did that not get set to mode 755? For completeness: Software Sources shows it checks for updates daily and has jaunty- updates and security checked. $ ps ax|grep update-notifier 3671 ?
