This bug is still happening. If you start gpk-update-viewer and check
for updates, it will most likely not find any update and will say your
system is up to date. But if you use apt-get to update the repositories
status and start gpk-update-viewer again, it will show the available
updates and let you install them.
It is probably not downloading the files from repositories to check for
the status of updated packages, but will use the ones downloaded by
apt-get and will work fine.
Sometimes it will work but will leave some packages not updating, I am
not very sure about that. I reproduced this in a virtual machine running
on another computer and gpk-update-viewer is having this same incorrect
behaviour, it may update some packages but if I run apt-get update it
will show a lot of other updates that it was not able to find by itself.
Maybe this bug is being overlooked by the majority of users because they
are proficient at using the shell for system updates?
