Bug Description
I am in Ubuntu 9.04 and using the German version. The English labels have the same problem (I checked). I just don't have them with me right now.
The problem is:
under "check for updates" (daily|weekly|..) there are three options.
- "install security updates without confirmation"
- "download updates automatically", and
- "only notify about updates"
why does the first one talk about "security updates" and the others just "updates"?
what does happen to other (non-security) updates? are the treated the same? different? if so, how?
I'd be happy to write better labels if someone told me what the program actually does.
