Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I don't remember having seen this with previous iterations of update-manager, but following the 8.04 release it seems that update-manager always claims that I "can install 1 update" even when no updates are visible. 'Check' shows nothing new, and 'Install Updates' returns after spinning for a bit.
The update-notifier icon doesn't show up on the desktop, so this is mainly an issue at the end of an upgrade system where the UI is left active and pretends that there's more work that can be done.

Thanks for your bugreport.
Could you please attach the output of /usr/lib/ update- notifier/ apt-check and "/usr/lib/ update- notifier/ apt-check -p" (both run from a terminal window like gnome-terminal?
