Bug Description
Update manager reports that all software is up to date when no internet connection is available. Update manager does NOT report that its check for updates failed due to a misbehaving internet connecton. NOTE: At no point did any other Ubuntu VM or the Windows 8 host have any problem pinging google.com. I had the following weird command window session, which restored the update manager to proper operation:
