Package: update-notifier
Version: 0.70.7.debian-7
Severity: important
Maybe because of the new python-apt API, update-notifier no
longer notifies of available updates. The failure point seems to
be in function 'update_check' of update-notifier.c, which calls
python script '/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check', which either
silently fails or is not reading the package cache correctly.
If I manually run apt-check, many deprecation warnings:
/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check:99: DeprecationWarning: Attribute 'FileList'
of the 'apt_pkg.Version' object is deprecated, use 'file_list' instead.
for (file, index) in ver.FileList:
/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check:100: DeprecationWarning: Attribute
'Archive' of the 'apt_pkg.PackageFile' object is deprecated, use 'archive'
instead.
if (file.Archive.endswith("-security") and
25;0
