Open Synaptic Package Manager.
Look at the left, see if you have anything in "Installed(upgradable) .??,,
I think they are included in the count also.

This has been fixed, once I contact Jerry a update will be made.

However, after the update the checkmark icon was still visible (maybe lighter?) and the tooltip showed that the same 67 updates were available.  I quit the program and re-ran from the menu.  The tooltip then correctly showed no updates available.

Also, I opened the configuration menu for it and found it a bit confusing.  There were two enties for update checking interval, one minutes and one for hours.  Do these add together?  It was not clear.   

Hope this helps.

Added a bit later:

I installed the updater in my 32-bit Gateway LT40 notebook.  When I first ran it the behaviour was the same as above, with the tooltip and icon still indicating updates available after an update.   

However, on the second run (after a reboot) it now showed 7 updates available.  When I ran it this time the update process completed and said there had actually been no updates available, not seven.  And the tooltip and icon still said 7 updates available.

There was  bug in updating the count, this as been fixed.

The config option is added up, I'll see if I can make it any clearer. If you have any ideas as to improve this please let me know.

If you have held packages they still show up as available updates this is also true with the control center, and will likely have new users confused as to why they can't install their updates, just my opinion.  On a side note it might be useful to be able to set a specific time for checking for updates like once a day at 7:00 am. This will work better for people with limited bandwidth at certain hours. Again just my opinion, everything seems to work fine have not noticed any issues.  Good work.

I'll look into specific timed events, this may be a fair bit of work before it's added. No promises ofc.

I think you could leave the minutes and hours boxes as-is (although they could be horizontally smaller) but just put "Minutes" and "Hours" in front of them (to their left).  Then put a text line above the two saying "Time between checks" (or your favorite wording). 

Or maybe better, under the description line put the two boxes on the same line, (smaller, of course), with the simple hour and minute labels beneath or above them and a big "+" sign or ":" colon between them.

New update now available.

Cool - I'll run updates and watch

Well done gentlemen!!!

**UPDATE**
Ran updates from LLCC = Error: couldn't fetch the package cache information lists.

From terminal using sudo apt-get update

I removed google from source, for the time being (this is a 64-bit system) Now just the no PUBKEY

Recently google removed 32bit chrome from repo. However not updated repo data yet.

If you are on 64bit, simply edit
Change from:

To:

Shaggy - That fixed the google prompt (yes 64-bit)
Still getting the NOKEY message..

*Reminder for the folks running Chrome on 32-bit systems; Google ended 32-bit Linux support (for more info please search the forums)
Chromium or another will need to be installed/utilized.


**Update*
Shaggy.. if it helps
I found the following info.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/520828/gp...henticated

Which suggests running the following command;
Replacing "ABCDEFGH12345678" with key error when running updates


It did resolve the NOKEY message on a system I tested...
