Title:
  Software Updater buttons ambiguous

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

Bug description:
  Did a fresh install of Quantal alpha 3, then ran Software Updates.
  It said
    "Not all updates can be installed"
  and gave the choices
   Settings, Partial Upgrade, Continue

  I can't tell what the difference between "Partial Upgrade" and
  "Continue" are.

  Those choices should be clarified to actually say something meaningful
  so at least a technically minded user who's done lots of partial
  upgrades in the past doesn't scratch his head and say "WTF is the
  difference between those buttons?"
