[Bug 1817559] Re: update-manager ignores its own settings completely

manager itself...

Yes, I know, exactly. That's why I did report on `update-manager'
package while I was preparing this current bug report:

> Package: update-manager 1:16.04.15

And I'm getting related notification (not exactly the same one obviously
since each time there are different list of packages for update but
similar: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/01
/software-updater-in-raring.jpg) each time when there are some updates
available *despite* the fact that all the auto checks have been disabled
through settings which are provided by the update-manager's interface
(which you can see in my attachment here:

  update-manager ignores its own settings completely

  ----

  Steps to reproduce:

  - Run `update-manager' manually, via `update-manager' from a terminal for example
  - Press "Settings..." button
  - Configure the following settings to hide all update-manager's pop-ups respectively:

  Automatically check for updates: Never
  When there are security updates: <blank>
  When there are other updates: Display every two weeks
  Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: Never

  - Close settings
  - Exit `update-manager'

  ----
  Expected behaviour:

  - update-manager won't be checking any updates at all
  - but even if there are some "other updates" then it must be displayed not more often than "every two weeks"

  ----
  Actual behaviour:

  - update-manager checks for updates from time to time by itself
  - update-manager shows notifications *all* *the* *time*: every single day and much more times per day than even twice
  - update-manager keeps to show notifications even if it has been seen & closed manually (just because there wasn't time for maintenance window currently, for example)
