Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the update and very valuable information answering quite a few questions I had/raised
In the given situation ('apt-get update' needs to be run manually) I would consider trinidad's suggestion to show the time of the last update more valuable to users.
As "Your system is up to date" in the current state only refers to the time 'apt-get update' was run, it could give the user a false sense of "all OK", not realizing the package lists haven't been updated for maybe ages.
