The timestamp file at time 17:10 today is an artificial creation with the contents 1580000000 so that tracking is easy. The update to 1590430423 occurred at 20:45 today and revised only two of the three files that would normally be updated - /etc/setup/timestamp has not changed.

Is the difference whether set-x86/_64 option "-g, --upgrade-also Upgrade
installed packages also" is specified or not?
That option is built into my setup script in case install dependencies need
upgraded, and as the default if no install is requested.
I only run setup manually to install downgrades, tests, or when version formats
change.
