(Get the code!)
@Chris
No, sorry. I don't know which one disabled the workaround.
But if you'd just install the updates and check afterwards to see whether the workaround is still in place or not, you could just enable the workaround again and no harm will be done. I think that file will only be loading during boot, unless you say to load it again, so just don't reboot until the workaround is applied.
I don't have a lot of time this week (not until Friday at the least) so after that I hope to do some tests. I want to disable the workaround and check whether apt is causing the symptoms by manually checking for updates using the command line. I don't suppose it'd work, but it's worth trying...
