On yosemite - update itunes 12.1.2 notification appears repeatedly even though it was updated.

on yosemite - am notified every few days to update itunes 12.1.2 even though it was updated.
No indication that previous updates failed.
Update has the same version number and the same description.
I see it also listed as a previous update.

Actually, I found other posts implicating Spotlight (which may be finding and referring to a copy of iTunes.app it found elsewhere, even if that copy is no longer around). Trying the re-indexing (forcing re-indexing is the proposed solution) now.
Interestingly, the command sudo mdutil -E on its own didn't seem to get Spotlight to dump its index and start re-indexing. It took adding the root path like this: sudo mdutil -E /
Update
Strangely, other apps started showing up in Spotlight searches after only a few seconds. After a few minutes into the indexing, any app I'd try would show up, but iTunes still wouldn't. On the command line, I entered:
mdimport /Applications/iTunes.app
This command forces Spotlight to index (import the metadata of) the specified target. I then tried the search again and it found it right away. Refreshed App Store's Updates page and iTunes remained. I'll wait until the indexing is done then restart and see if that helps.
