Comment 27 for bug 876298

This bug was fixed in the package update-notifier - 0.119ubuntu2

---------------
update-notifier (0.119ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * data/package-data-downloader, data/package-data-downloads-failed.in,
    data/package-data-downloads-failed-permanently.in,
    debian/update-notifier-common.{postinst,triggers}: add a new handler and
    dpkg trigger to let packages queue data for download after package
    install, so that network connectivity problems don't make installs
    and upgrades unreliable. LP: #876298.
  * debian/update-notifier-common.cron.daily: add a cronjob to periodically
    retry any failed downloads.
  * src/update-notifier.c: when there are new hooks, check them whether or
    not dpkg has run; this allows other packages to send us notifications
    by ways other than running a package maintainer script.
