As far as I can tell, nothing has been updated in 5.118 to address the updates available issue. See https://github.com/dustinkirkland/byobu/blob/master/usr/lib/byobu/updates_available#L86

I would not expect the latest version to fix this.

Can you try clearing the byobu cache related to the updates available and then test my proposed fix in updates_available?

As I mentioned above, you can clear the cache for screen implementations using commands similar to this:

rm /dev/shm/byobu-<user>-<XXXXXXXX>/cache.screen/updates-available
rm /dev/shm/byobu-<user>-<XXXXXXXX>/cache.screen/updates-available.lock

If you don't feel comfortable deleting the cache, just rename the files (e.g., mv updates-available updates-available.bak).

Use this command to find your particular cache files:
find /dev/shm -name 'updates-available*'
