This isn't a problem with the system-image client.

If a bug report is filed in the wrong place, please move it to the right place rather than marking it Invalid.

Please attach /var/log/system-image/client.log and the output of `system-image-cli --info`. Is this reproducible? If so, please post the recipe. Does it happen right after a reboot?

Unfortunately the client.log file is not transferable from the phone because of bug 1376212. But I'm attaching a copy-and-paste of everything timestamped today, including downloading a system update.

system-image-cli --info
current build number: 132
device name: krillin
channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en
last update: 2015-09-24 12:55:56
version version: 132
version ubuntu: 20150924
version device: 20150821-736d127
version custom: 20150821-887-33-32-vivid

The steps to reproduce the problem are in the description: this happens every time a system update arrives.

However, I'm 99% sure that none of that is necessary for fixing the bug. :-) Simply, there is some code somewhere that contains the string "There's an updated syst" (presumably "...system image" or something like that?), and the string "Tap to open the system updater." That code should not exist. If those strings had ever been in the design, they would not have been worded that way: there is nothing in the UI labelled "the system updater".

Grepping the code, I see the second string is not in system-image, but it is in ubuntu-system-settings.

affects: system-image (Ubuntu) → ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu)

Unsure why it was done this way but at the moment unity8 doesn't allow to set a badge with a number I think, so without the notification we would have no visual clue out of the settings application itself that an update is available ...

in this case should we?
- keep things are they are
- keep it and change the wording
- remove the current notification and require users to enter settings
- something else
