Availability of updates for icedove and Java seems to have triggered
this again, even with my patched gnome-settings-daemon (with commit
7901a81c0736c backported). I had removed
aptdaemon, synaptic, update-notifier etc. but I did notice that I hadn't
purged update-notifier-common, which left this behind:
root at cardamom:~# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";
so perhaps that's involved?
