update-manager does not reports update time since install

Binary package hint: update-manager

I installed a fresh rebuild 7 dates ago.
Update manger even thought updated almost daily reports "The package information was updated 7 days ago"
i.e. the date when I installed Ubuntu 10.10 from a daily build.

Thank you for taking the time to report this and make Ubuntu better. Before we continue please clarify *exactly what the problem is* and any steps I can take in order to reproduce the error on my machine. Thanks!

As per the attached screenshot. I have been updating daily. The package information was last updated would normally say less than one hour. I am getting time since fresh install. I expect tomorrow it will say 8 days right after I press "check" and install what ever updates that are available.

I've got the same problem. And it starts to be annoying because, now, there is the icon in my panel.
Nothing more to add.

Checked for updates, installed ia32 libs. It now states 8 days

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Ok, can you try the following?

Try updating from the terminal using sudo........

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get upgrade

Then go to the update manager and see if it the same.

Did sudo apt-get update
system fetched files

Did sudo apt-get upgrade
system reported no upgrades available

Ran update manager --- still at 8 days and annoying menu bar icon.

1) Run the following command to get the "keys"

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 16126D3A3E5C1192

2) Run the above update commands again, make sure there is no error this time, and then check the update manager again.

Done.

Problem Solved.
