The primary text for an alert should be complete sentences, regardless
of whether it is bold.
The software on this computer is up to date.
It's easy to understand this when considering that sometimes the primary
text is a question.
Are you sure you want to close all programs and log out of the
computer?
And sometimes it is multiple sentences.
Ubuntu can’t be updated at the moment. Please try again later.
It would be inconsistent for some of these sentences to have punctuation
while others didn't.

Title:
update-manager misguiding text
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
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.
