Bug Description

I noticed that if I do sudo apt-get update or use update-manager to check for updates and there are in fact updates available that indicator-session does not update to reflect "Updates Available" but instead continues to say "Software Up to Date".

I have attached a screenshot to demonstrate this bug.

Yes reported them when I tested Oneiric, but they're still present in 12.04 that's why I tagged them 'precise'. Although after some updates on Dec. 5th, when manually checking update-manager indicator-session indicated updates available, but couldn't be reproduced, obviously was a fluke. It definetely indicates never when updating via terminal.
According to cjcurran milestone is set to 0.3.8

Yes the problem in oneiric was the API it was using. On my todo list for Precise.
