Public bug reported:
Hi Guys,
I have seen a strange behavior regarding the update notifier. Our
monitoring system isn't able to show missing updates.
After starting looking closer, the script apt-check is not providing the
correct result depending the python version. Changing python from 3 to 2
or changing the shebang solve the issue.
