Update-notifier shows notification bubble and wrong icon even if synaptic is started and working

[Mikael Olenfalk]

This is on a recent Ubuntu Dapper (upgraded today, 2006-01-08 13:37),
update-notifier notified me about some updates and after starting synaptic both
the notification bubble and the wrong icon is shown.

After synaptic is started, the update-notifier tray icon should show the "grey"
icon and should also not offer the user to start the package manager or
update-manager again. (It used to just say "Package manager is running/working"
and the menu disappeared; which I think is the right thing to do.)

Right now the notification bubble (which btw looks ridiculous; but that's my
personal opinion :) ) is shown even if synaptic is running and still when it is
working!

Two screenshots are attached.

Sometimes the notification bubble is scrambled (like on these shots); I have
seen it before and I will open another bug about it.

I just had this happen a few minutes ago.

I was manually running "apt-get dist-upgrade" and while the packages were part-way through installing, the bubble popped up!

Thanks for your bugreport.

Is this still a problem? The bubble design (wrong icon) is fixed with the new layout. And cicking on the icon now remove the bubble too. The issue that a bubble comes up in the middle of a upgrade should be fixed as well with better detection of a runing upgrade.

Thanks,

This should be fixed in the current dapper. Please reopen if you experience one of the menitoned problems on a current dapper.

Thanks,
