[Bug 33861] Re: notifier keeps notifying about available updates after fetching updates

[Joshua Kugler]

I fixed it (at least for me).  I started the notifier under the console
and got this message:

adept_notifier: checking cache for upgradable packages...
adept_notifier: error checking cache for upgradable packages...
adept_notifier: what: ERROR: The list of sources could not be read.

I went digging, and found that all my *.list files in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d were owned root.root and had 600 permissions.
I'm not sure *why* they were that way, but somehow they had been created
that way.  I chmod'ed them 604 and started notifier: nice green circle.

So, it would appear adept_notifier wants to be able to read *all* the
source lists, which only makes sense.
