[Robert Roth]

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 9.04 reached EOL on October 23, 2010.

I've tried recreating this bug with Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) and was unable
to, given the information you've provided. Please either a) upgrade and
test or b) increase the verbosity of the steps to recreate it so we can
try again.

Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  Changelog display should check for a captive portal.

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  If the package cache is updated when connected to the network, then
  the computer is moved to a captive portal -- for example, if it's a
  laptop taken into a cafe or hotel -- a result similar to the attached
  screenshot will occur.

  I think that update-manager, when downloading changelog files, should
  first check that it's actually connected to the Internet by checking
  for the Release file, or perhaps the meta-release file on
  changelogs.ubuntu.com.
