Bug Description

Hi
everytime it runs it ends showing the box "Failed to download repository information. Check your internet connection". It instead works as expected.
The error probably is here:

Err:7 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ Release
  404 Not Found [IP: 108.138.199.73 443]
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

So it is just a wrong message in that box, screenshot attached

You have a sources.list file with a line starting

deb https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \

which is wrong - \ is no valid codename. Fix your sources.list.

Sorry, perhaps I was not clear.
I know my sources.list.d is wrong but what I mean is that the message "check your internet connection" is wrong because the internet connection is working. Just a graphical issue, I suggest to remove the "Check your internet connection" written.
Thanks and BR

Sorry, but checking the internet connection is a useful thing to suggest when updating fails. We can't have special messages for every type of failure.
