Bug Description
The button labels are not clear.
"Partial Upgrade" begins an upgrade
In old versions: "Close" -- does this mean close the dialog, or close the app? (ie, give up completely)
In Raring: "Continue" -- (from bug 1137144) Reading that message, "Partial Upgrade" and "Continue" are the same thing. There is no "Cancel" to backout. I'm stuck unless I just close the dialog.
The deeper problem is that I don't understand why this dialog appears. The model of Software Update as I understand it is that the user can pick which updates they want. When faced by this dialog, I am confused about how I say "no, I only want to pick SOME packages to update).

This dialog appears if update-manager has to change allready installed packages to install all updates. You should not see this dialog if you only use default Ubuntu software. Have you enabled any third party package repositories? Do you run gutsy?
