Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
When Update Manager has not been run for a few days (e.g. because the machine was powered off), invoking the application manually gives the user a misleading message:
"Your system is up-to-date.
The package information was last updated # days ago"
In my case, "#" was 14 days.
Update Manager should state that package information has not been updated recently and it can therefore not establish whether the system is up-to-date.
