Title:
  Broken packages result in meaningless error message

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  If broken packages are on the system then update manager brings up an
  error message asking the user to "use the broken fileter", which is a
  feature of Synaptic which is not accessible from the update manager
  tool. The text should be changed to read something like "Broken
  packages were found on this system. The update tool cannot correct
  this, please use a different package tool to fix this issue", perhaps
  with a button to open Synaptic if it is installed.
