Bug Description
The cronjob is not very flexible, and it delays the time when we can use updated information.
As the package-reporter runs as landscape, the goal is to use a suid binary running smart update.
We should also use the --after option of smart update to be sure that we're not running it too often.

This branch needs the smart-update wrapper from smart. I've updated the smart packages to included it, so you can apt-get install it from my PPA:
deb http:// ppa.launchpad. net/free. ekanayaka/ ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Just replace jaunty with hardy or intrepid if you use those platforms.
