Title:
  Changelog display should check for a captive portal.

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

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.
