Title:
  wrong count in update-notifier tooltip

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Note: I don't think this is the same as #28827, but I'm not totally
  sure.

  I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.

  I'm encountering a strange bug.  Hovering the mouse over the update-
  notifier icon, the tooltip says (all the time, even after a reboot and
  "apt-get update" too) that there is 1 update available (with the
  security icon).  However, when I click on it and open the update
  manager, it tells me I have 65 updates available (some security
  patches, recommended and proposed too)

  My system is fully working, so it's definitely not a rush priority, I
  just noticed that this was wrong.

  Mvo in #ubuntu-bugs helped me and he gave me a modified version of
  apt-check, to test things.  Attached is the modified version he made.

  Here is what this script returns when I run it :

  And also this with the -p parameter :
