Binary package hint: update-manager

In Jaunty, Update Manager will generally wait a week or so before it shows itself once updates are available. However, it currently doesn't check to make sure there's actually a network connection to download those updates from.

I discovered this when I brought my laptop to a restaurant to grab a bite to eat and do some work - when I booted, Update Manager appeared and offered to do some updates, however none were doable.

I suggest simply delaying update manager's opening until a network connection is available.
