I will confirm this happens to me sometimes also on 16.04 on several different machines. I have debugged as well and will also confirm it has to do with the file dates and how long an update takes, so it is not easily reproducible. But the logic flow shows how it can happen. I have patched the updates_available script as shown above to add the third check, thanks so much. Before that I was thinking about having the update be done in a sub-script and at the end of that touch the cache file, so the sub-script would still run in the background but the cache file would get a more recent mod time.
