> Is this update-notifier existing in Debian Lenny?! Yes, it does: http://packages.debian.org/stable/gnome/update-notifier However you have to setup the cron job manually as described on the above page. I i.e. have set up 'cron-apt' on my NAS with Lenny and configured exim4 (default MTA) to send me e-mail to my external account on updates available. That works reliable.
At this occasion another deficiency/bug in Ubuntu's update-notifier: despite I have configured to send e-mail to r...@localhost in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades by uncommenting this line: Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "r...@localhost"; root does not receive any e-mail notification. MTA here in Lucid is postfix, which works fine for other cron-jobs. -- update-manager doesn't show updates, even after 1 week https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
