It says it checks for updates but it doesn't

[Nanley Chery]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Whenever I apply updates to my system, when the updates are complete, the loading box appears that says "Checking for updates" and returns with the, "Your system is up to date" title. However, when I go to click the check button again, I am still able to find more updates. This is misleading.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Can you please mention what Ubuntu version do you have?
Also, please attach a screenshot.

Thank you.

Currently, I am running Hardy, but this has happened to me in every version (I believe).

Thank you for your screenshots.
As far as I can see from these screenshots is that when you click "Check" it starts checking for updates and it ends with "Your system is up-to-date". It seems that everything is ok.

If I'm wrong and I didn't understand what is going on, please say it.

Thank you.
