Hopefully you'll get a better answer from someone who knows Python (and 
I'm ashamed to admit that I don't) but meanwhile I can see a couple of 
things to check:

does /usr/bin/update-notifer exist?

does /usr/share/locale exist?

Those files appear to be referenced from line 169 of apt-check.py.

Also, I have the (empty) directory ~/.update-notifier on my machines.

Good luck,

Steve
