[Bug 307851] Re: Update manager shows invalid value in "last updated" field if failed to get package list

[Robert Roth]

How did you confirm on Natty? I can not reproduce this by starting a
check, and canceling it -> it gives me a failed to download repository
information dialog, but the last updated info does not change.

Title:
  Update manager shows invalid value in "last updated" field if failed
  to get package list

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I know the title doesn't explain this bug clearly, I'll give an
  example:

  I start update-manager to update my system.
  It says: System was last updated three days ago. (or somewhat like this, I use Polish translation)
  I click "Check for updates".
  Some strange errors appear (it really doesn't matter what errors) and it fails to get information about available updates.
  Now it says: "System was last updated less than hour ago"
  What??? It was last updated three days ago, as it failed to check for updates...

  I use Ubuntu 8.10, update-manager in version 1:0.93.34.
