Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-notifier
during normal computer use, when update-notifier starts, it will misbehave in the following ways:
-it uses roughly 100% cpu
-no update notification icons whatsoever are shown in panel
-existing symbols in panel are rearranged in irregular way
as for update-notifier itself, this behavior will persist until the process belonging to it is killed. this bug has been reproduced every day from installation up to now; that is, 4 times.
os: Xubuntu 8.04 testing
update-notifier 0.70.7
system: acer travelmate 382tmi

Thanks for your bugreport.
Can you please run the command "strace -p process_id" on the process that hangs with 100% cpu?
