[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package update-notifier - 3.186

---------------
update-notifier (3.186) artful; urgency=medium

  * src/crash.c: don't prompt about system reports under wayland, pkexec
    doesn't work there
  * src/clipboard.c, src/update-notifier.c, src/Makefile.am:
    - don't use the xorg clipboard to do single instance, that doesn't work
      under wayland, replace it with a file lock (lp: #1697381)
