[Discuss] Software Updating Program Called "software"?

[Kent Borg]

Why did an apparent GNU program called "software" just pop up telling me 
I have things to update? I haven't seen that before, where did it come from?

It wants to do the same updates that "apt-get upgrade" wants to do, but 
with the addition of:

   FW 22001070 Device Update
   22001050 -> 22001070
   This stable release fixes the following: *Fix the "Drive not 
detected" issue reported by the Dell ePSA tool in some rare cases.

Why doesn't "apt-get upgrade" know about this?


Thank you,
