Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with apt 1.0.10.2ubuntu1 and if I'm login into the console a message shows me how many packages are upgradeable. But very often it shows me a number > 0 even if my system if fully upgraded. Trying to logout and login again does still show the same number.
