Title:
  Update manager error window is too small to read and is not resizable.

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  -------
  Summary:  Cant resize error window to read output.  It only allows the reading of 3 lines at a time.  (Screenshot at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/739647/+attachment/2107176/+files/ys7vJ.png)
  -------
  The window that Update Manager shows when an error happens is not resizable, which makes it very hard to read the error message. See attached screenshot.
  -------
  Some suggestions on how to improve the error dialog from a duplicate, bug #365972:
  I think this dialog can be improved a few ways:
   - rather than just displaying 2 lines (of 12), display all tweleve
   - rather than just displaying as much as will fit horizontally, perhaps perform common string replacement and display things heirarchically?

  e.g.

  in this case the url might be:

   http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo/main/binary-amd64/Packages
   http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo/main/source/Sources
   http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages

  perhaps:

   http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
    foo/main/binary-amd64/Packages
    foo/main/source/Sources
    foo-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages

  instead?
