I certainly did not want to start something that was going to make big changes without confirmation from me. How was I to know that "update" meant "update list of available packages and versions" rather than update my system?I think your reminder if the list is out of date is a good idea, perhaps with a configuration option for how often to check.I wrote some proof of concept code and put a screenshot online at: http://people.debian.org/~mvo/synaptic/synaptic-pkglist-outdated.png
that is OK, sometimes I got to know about some software available for linux from the "new in repository" list only... So I'd definitely like to know about all the updates on the servers. I believe the majority of users will not mind, if just leave the chance to get rid of this prompt forever.The problem is here, that all we know after the first stage is that there is a updated package list available. We do not know yet if any of the changes apply to one of the packages that are installed. So I'ma bit unsure about it.
