Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Running 8.04.1:
If an update fails (for example, due to Bug #105113), after update-manager is done running, the window it pops up has less than ideal wording: In large print it says "Upgrade is complete", but then the small print says "not all changes and updates succeeded. For further details...expand the panel below".

The problem is that it it could lead to user confusion. Saying that something is "complete" often carries with it the implication that there were no problems. It would be much clearer if the large "Upgrade is complete" text was removed altogether and the "not all changes and updates succeeded" text became the main message for the user.

After investigation, it seems this bug was fixed in Maverick. The reason for this is the switch to aptdaemon, which spits out more comprehensible error messages. Please respond on this bug if this is still not fixed.
