Title:
Update manager should read "The package information was just updated"
in 15 minute intervals for the first hour after an update.
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager
--------
Summary: "I'm proposing that as long as it's less than one hour ago that the package information was updated, the message should update at 15-minute intervals, with the first - that is, when it was less than 15 minutes ago that the check occurred - reading "Your system is up to date. The package information was just updated." When it's more than one hour ago, the current behavior is indeed very appropriate."
--------
For the sake of clarification for the user, when the Update manager
has just updated the package information, I propose that it should
read "Your system is up to date. The package information was just
updated."
This is just a papercut bug, but I'm guessing it would have people re-
checking the package information at more appropriate time intervals.
Also I would say it increases the perception of the Update manager's
user friendliness. The need to know a more precise time since the last
check decays with hours - being of bigger importance when the check
wasn't that long ago.
This message should also change every 15 minutes, and in that way be
even more helpful - "...was updated about 15 minutes ago." "...was
updated about half an hour ago." and "...was updated about 45 minutes
ago."
