Bug Description

The new software update notification introduced in xenial triggers way too often. For instance right now I dist-upgraded my system, rebooted and upon login I get that message. Also I get it like once per hour, regardless if I actually upgrade or not, it keeps on coming.

Some users even report it is shown every time they plug in external hardware, like a camera.

This notification should only appear like once a day at max, probably even less often, unless there's something super critical in the queue.

summary: - Software update notification trigger way too often
