Yes/no dialog informing about missing sources should be made

Bug Description

The update-manager dialog informing the user that some source packages could not be found uses yes/no stock buttons at the moment, asking the user whether he wants to continue.

The HIG-compliant way for this dialog would be to inform the user that some source packages could not be installed and continueing might lead to an incomplete update, offering him "Cancel" and "Continue".

Can you please make a screenshot of this dialog? The only once I can find right now with a YES_NO stock is not in use currently :) But it may as well be a synaptic dialog (that is used as backend).

Thanks,
 Michael

I think that is the dialog that comes up if not all packages could be downloaded: it asks if you would continue the installation with the successfully downloaded packages, only.
