Title:
  update-notifier instructs to click "check for updates" although there
  is no such option

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In Precise alpha, update-notifier shows up in menu bar as a icon with
  exclamation mark. When I click the icon, I see "The update information
  is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository
  that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on
  this icon and then selecting 'Check for updates' and check if some of
  the listed repositories fail."

  However, a) there is no "this icon" (bad wording because update-
  notifier is nowadays an indicator) and b) Check for updates doesn't
  exist. I only see "Show updates" option in update-notifier's menu.
  Because of this, I installed shutter via apt-get (without doing apt-
  get update) and now update-notifier is gone so I can't provide a
  screenshot.

  I believe that update-notifier was shown because I added a non-
  existent PPA.
