Comment 10 for bug 668846

The "cleanest" solution would be to use aptdaemon for the daily updates and in synaptic. But especially the later one would require a little bit of work.

Since synaptic runs in the user session and aptdaemon doesn't it isn't the job of aptdameon to notify the user. Sending Synaptic to the front doesn't give the user any clue that he has to close it. Furthermore it is a bad idea to close an application without the confirmation of the user. You never know what kind of unapplied changes there are.
