Bug#492863: update-notifier: the tray icon keeps finding updates even when the system is up to date

Thu Oct 15 04:27:03 UTC 2009

The "aptitude dist-upgrade" command did not install any additional
packages for me.

I worked around this bug by using the context menu over the task bar
icon and selecting the Install all updates command. It installed
diffutils in my case. The icon then mercifully disappeared.
