[Bug 414202] Re: Update-notifier should be aware of suspend/hibernate

** Changed in: update-notifier (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: update-notifier
  
  Whenever resume my computer from hibernating (over night or more) I get
  the "The update information is outdated" warning.  Yes, of course it is
  outdated--the computer was off.  If I update manually, it goes away,
  even if there were no new updates to install.  Update-notifier needs to
  be aware of this common scenario and not present a warning, because this
  is normal behaviour.  Instead, it should trigger an automatic update
  once it regains a network connection.  Basically, update-manager should
  treat suspend/hibernate identically to the computer being off.  This may
  be related to bug #392603.
