[Bug 942590] Re: update-manager misguiding text

Thanks again John. You're right to change "Ubuntu Linux" to "Ubuntu". I
just have one niggle:

-          text_header= "<big><b>%s</b></big>"  % _("The software on this computer is up to date.")
+          text_header= "<big><b>%s</b></big>"  % _("The software on this computer is up-to-date.")

This should stay as it is. Compound adjectives should generally be
hyphenated ("This is an up-to-date computer", "This is open-source
software"), but adjective phrases should not be ("This computer is up to
date", "This software is open source").

Title:
  update-manager misguiding text

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

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 11.10 (currently the latest stable version of Ubuntu) I
  found that the Update Manager has this misguiding text displayed in
  its main window when and only when the updates are available. Below
  "Software updates are available for your computer" it says this:

  "If you don't want to install them now, choose "Update Manager" from
  Applications later."

  And what is wrong here? Well, Ubuntu doesn't have the "Applications"
  menu anymore. Actually, the old desktop menus in Ubuntu are now long
  gone, so please re-word this line of text. The place where the user
  can choose to open the Update Manager later is in the menu that has a
  "power" icon in the top-right of the screen. Point the user there in
  the Update Manager when he/she has updates available. Thanks.
