Bug Description
Version: 0.9.2-0ubuntu5
Jockey fetches information about what drivers it can install from extra apt fields. Jockey runs upon login and leaves the backend running. If you run apt-get update right afterward, the backend isn't refreshed to have this updated information.
Consequently, running 'jockey-text -l' potentially thinks that no drivers are available, when this isn't necessarily the case.
I propose that when a frontend queries the backend for supported drivers, the backend should refresh it's view of the apt cache so that this is accurate information.

Jockey has been superseded by software- properties, which now handles
third-party driver configuration.
