Bug Description
Since upgrading my Kubuntu installation from 8.04 to 8.10 I no longer receive any automatic notification for pending package updates (such as security updates). Manually running 'apt-get update', however, immediately brings up the notification icon in the systray, so the generic notification mechanism seems to work, but apparently the automatic polling for new updates does not.
In Adept's "Software Sources" section automatic update checking is configured to run once a day and only notify about pending updates.
Any idea?
Please let me know if you need any additional details.

Same here. And even Adept-Manager only allows updates after manually fetching package lists. In 8.04 KDE4 remix it still worked fine.
