Title:
  Notice of failed download provides no feedback for completed action

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

Bug description:
  Suppose on install you tick the box to include Fluendo and such
  extras. And suppose that during the install your net connection breaks
  and the extras fail to download. A window will come up--"Information
  available"--telling you of the failure, in several languages.
  Excellent! And a button will offer "Run this action now."

  But after you press the button to run the action, you will receive no
  feedback to tell you whether the action has succeeded or not, and the
  window will staysopen, with the same message and same option to "Run
  this action now."

  This is confusing.

  Expected behavior: Once the action has completed, the user should see
  a notice telling him so. And either the original window should close
  or else the "Run this action" button should be greyed out, leaving
  only the option "Close."
