[Bug 1517027] [NEW] System tray icon for Updates appears with red X when software is already up to date

[Daniel Barrett]

Public bug reported:

*After* I do a software update from the command line:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

a new icon appears in my system tray, which looks like a shield with a
red "X" on it.  (See screenshot.) To my eye, the red X means that my
software is out of date. However, my software is up to date.

This behavior seems backwards. Shouldn't the icon appear *before* the
update, and then disappear after the update?

When I click the icon, a rectangle appears that says "Updates: System up
to date." There appears to be no way to make this icon disappear, short
of hiding it permanently.
