Binary package hint: adept-notifier
If you pin a package in /etc/apt/
Can the tray icon will be hide if there only updates for pined packages, otherwise the notifier is a bit useless because the tray icon is display all the time.

Hi,
I can confirm this is a problem with adept and adept_notifier. Both ignore pinning rules in /etc/apt/ preferences preferences:
i recently tried to use pinning to prevent adept from showing update for a tool i apt-sourced and recompiled with additionnal Oracle support.
here is my /etc/apt/
delbd@cal-12:~$ cat /etc/apt/ preferences
Package: tora
Pin: 1.3.21-1
Pin-Priority: 1000
Here is result of sudo apt-get update: be.archive. ubuntu. com feisty Release.gpg [191B] be.archive. ubuntu. com feisty/main Translation-fr security. ubuntu. com feisty- security/ universe Sources
delbd@cal-12:~$ sudo apt-get update

So, you can see, pinning preference is correctly written. However, adept notifier shows a tray icon with "1 package can be update".
Despite what original poster said, when i run adept, or click the tray icon, it really does the upgrade to 1.3.21-3ubuntu1, completly ignoring the pinning rule and i have then to manually rollback to old version...
