Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Since Jaunty/9.04 came out (so ~1 month), update-manager now pops up (seemingly) randomly, either after login, or after doing some command line dpkg operations, or at other times by itself.

This could be related to a cronjob.

Ideally, update-manager should not pop up unless requested to do so.

I run with auto-updates (in theory, at least) disabled, as my primary internet link in a GPRS connection where bandwidth is both slowly and monetarily costly.
