Comment 24 for bug 705988

Regarding the workarounds given at the top of this page. 1 & 3 do not apply. I followed 2. (change to main server), and Software Updater crashed. Crash report has been sent. Package did not relaunch.

Restarted updater from the drop-down on the notification icon (still showing yellow). The Software Updater then reported that my computer was up to date. I clicked OK. Three minutes later, it popped up again saying this computer is up to date. But the dropdown on the yellow notification icon still says there are 5 updates available, as before. Clicking on "Show updates" causes it again to tell me my computer is up to date. We know it's not up to date.
