Update Manager rereads database after installing updates

[juergen urner]

When an update is complete, update manager runs through the whole database once again. This is more or less time consuming. I usually want to quit emidiately and not wait for it to tell me what should be obvious - that there are no new updates.

Still the case with update-manager 0.125.2 in karmic (u-m popping into foreground when it opens a new progress window which requires no user interaction whatsoever).
This is *extremely* annoying as it interrupts the users work, especially because u-m normally opens in the middle of the screen where it is very likely to be in the way if it is not moved somewhere else beforehand.

Thanks for your bugreport.

I can no longer reproduce this in karmic, when I click on "install updates" a policykit dialog comes up, asks me for authentication and when I then send it to the background it stays there. This is with the "aptdaemon" package installed (that is default in karmic).

[Kai Jauch (kaijauch)]

Confirmed, it stays in the background here as well since aptdaemon is being used. Many thanks :)

Please report one bug per bug report. The first annoyance is a duplicate of bug 35876.
