Thanks for your reply.

No, I haven't tried clearing the apt cache and shall let you know if my OS downloads software/security updates in the background.

By the way, is there a method to suppression notification of new software and/or security updates? (I assume that if I can receive notifications of software/security updates, it means that my OS is communicating with Debian servers in the background, without my knowledge. I don't like that.)
