  [ Iain Lane ]
  * data/update-motd-updates-available: Update the stamp file atomically.
    Thanks to Marius Gedminas! (LP: #1146170)

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * In the upstart crash notification job fix the path for watershed.
  * debian/update-notifier-crash.conf: check that we have read permission on
    the crash file before launching apport-gtk, additionally just launch
    apport-gtk or system-crash-notification as they will check for new crashes
    and start bug filing for each one (LP: #1193509)
  * data/update-motd-fsck-at-reboot: Update the stamp file atomically.

Title:
  duplicate "N packages can be updated." messages in motd

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Lately I've been noticing that as I ssh into one particular server, I
  get duplicate messages about updates.  Digging a bit deeper I see they
  come from /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available:

      mg at fridge: ~ $ /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-
  available

      0 packages can be updated.
      0 updates are security updates.

      0 packages can be updated.
      0 updates are security updates.

      0 packages can be updated.
      0 updates are security updates.

  Once I saw three messages with slightly different spacing (no blank
  line between 1st and 2nd, two blank lines between 2nd and 3rd).
  Yesterday I also saw a similar issue (two messages instead of one) on
  a different server (running Ubuntu 10.04).
