Title:
  Package Manager indicator has incorrect, old wording and bad grammar

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If I create an issue with installed packages, I get a "no entry sign"
  icon in my Ubuntu 20.04 top panel. (I am not sure which package
  creates this indicator; please reassign if it's not software-
  properties.) This indicator has a menu (screenshot attached) with text
  reading:

  An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click
  menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message
  was: ' Error: BrokenCount > 0' This usually means that your installed
  packages have unmet dependencies

  This message has numerous problems.

  1. There is no "right-click menu"; a left-click or a right-click on this icon both show the same thing
  2. There is no "Package Manager" entry in the shown menu (there is the error message above, a separator, "Show updates", a separator, "Show notifications", and "Preferences")
  3. It recommends running "apt-get" which should be "apt"
  4. The error message has a space at the start of it
  5. The error message uses straight quotes rather than typographic quotes
  6. It does not end with a full stop despite being written as prose
