** Description changed:
+ update-notifier 0.118.1ubuntu1, Ubuntu 12.04
+
In Precise alpha, update-notifier shows up in menu bar as a icon with
exclamation mark. When I click the icon, I see "The update information
is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository
that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this
icon and then selecting 'Check for updates' and check if some of the
listed repositories fail."
However, a) there is no "this icon" (bad wording because update-notifier
is nowadays an indicator) and b) Check for updates doesn't exist. I only
see "Show updates" option in update-notifier's menu. Because of this, I
installed shutter via apt-get (without doing apt-get update) and now
update-notifier is gone so I can't provide a screenshot.
I believe that update-notifier was shown because I added a non-existent
PPA.
