misleading "up-to-date" message when package repositories have not been checked

[Alexandros Papadopoulos]

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.
