Comment 8 for bug 1223321

I just installed those 29 updates, by the way. And then my system does a popup that says: "there are 20 updates available". So here I am with this new update message, and I think either my system didn't check the last lot of updates properly. Or it's got another bunch of updates it could only do after it had done the first lot.

So you go back to the Software Updater again and, like Laurel and Hardy's car mechanic, you click on the update notifier, and it does indeed say there are 20 updates to install. So you click on 'update' a little reluctantly. And, yes it says there are no updates to install! And it sits there the update notifier icon, and you can click on it any time you like, and it will pop up saying, 'there are 20 updates to install', even though there are not.

(It does in fact look like the new 20 might be the updates left from the 29 updates before: it could install only 8 of those, remember. So it installed the eight updates the Software Updater recognised and that leaves twenty... er... one. Twenty one. Okay we seem to have lost an update somwhere. We are still sure this is not a security vulnerability aren't we? Someone must be sure it's not a security vulnerability. Because it looks to me that when I just gave my Software Updater permission to install 8 updates it installed 9).
