confirmed.
Reason: scripts should not call su-to-root
(nor should they attempt to use the -m flag, which is deprecated in gksu v2.0.1)
( also, if not already deprecated in v2.0.1 “–su-mode” is deprecated in next version of gksu )

silvioto, you can wait for a fix to arrive in a future release of apt-notifier
(in the meantime, “sudo apt purge apt-notifier”)
or use the following instructions to achieve an immediate fix:

1) close/quit apt-notifier if it is currently running

2) open a web browser and goto https://pastebin.com/raw/9CL1Knqv
right-click, SelectAll, copy to clipboard

3) sudo geany /usr/bin/apt-notifier.py
selectAll, press backspace to delete, then paste the clipboard content grabbed from the pastebin page.
Save the revised apt-notifier.py file and exit geany

4) restart apt-notifier and verify that it is now working correctly

====================

5) (optional step) If launched from a terminal prompt, you may still observe a “nuisance” warning “could not connect blahblah accessibility”. This isn’t specific to apt-notifier, FWIW. To prevent that gtk warning, “sudo apt install libatk-adapter” (accessibility toolkit, 58kb)
