I don't know if this will be an issue with new users, but I suspect it might. 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 tried the lite-updater in LL 2.8 on my 64-bit Dell Latitude E6410. It correctly notified me of 67 available updates and did the updating.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.Andy N1KSNAdded 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.Andy
