mintupdate does not see updates
Posted: Fri May 21, 2010 1:04 pm
- After boot mintupdate icon shows that my system is up to date.
- I right click the mintupdate icon and choose refresh
- mintupdate icon insists that my system is up to date.
- I open a terminal, and run "aptitude update;aptitude full-upgrade"
- aptitude full-upgrade offers to upgrade:
apt apt-transport-https apt-utils hal libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-data
libglibmm-2.4-1c2a libhal-storage1 libhal1 libmysqlclient16
libpangomm-1.4-1 mint-translations mintbackup mintdesktop mintinstall
mintnanny mintupdate mintupload mountall mysql-client-core-5.1
mysql-common mysql-server-core-5.1 ubiquity-slideshow-mint-main
- and now, incredibly, mintupdate icon tells me "20 recommended updates available"
Below is a log of mintupdate. The first two groups of lines are my attempts to make mintupdate see the updates by clicking "Refresh". The last group of lines appeared AFTER I run "aptitude update".

Is this how mintupdate should behave?
