Public bug reported: When run, racket mentions that there's a newer version available. In common with other packaged programs that have this sort of feature, e.g. Firefox and Chromium, it should be turned off by default in Racket, as the Ubuntu user expects to upgrade via Ubuntu, not by downloading from the web. This does not prevent the user who wishes to install a later version manually from turning the check back on if desired.
