Just updated some Ubuntu 10.04.2 servers using 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade', then rebooted to find stale information displayed in the login banner, still showing lots of updates pending. There's a simple fix for this...
rm /etc/motd.tail
/usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available --force
The system would catch up eventually anyway. These commands just speed it up.
