Per discussion with Mathieu, the fix for this is controversial for quantal so
it's pretty unlikely to land in quantal and be backported on time.
On top of that, the current fix actually turns on an extra feature in Network
Manager so it'd have to be very carefully tested and discussed with the
release/SRU team for approval.
The plan is basically:
- Turn on the connectivity check in Network Manager (once we agree on the
frequency of the check and exactly how to check. cf
ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com)
- Change update-manager to talk to Network Manager and check the state
properly (assuming it currently doesn't check for CONNECTED_GLOBAL)
- Test in quantal
- Backport both changes to precise
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu Precise)
Milestone: ubuntu-12.04.1 => precise-updates
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Precise)
Milestone: ubuntu-12.04.1 => precise-updates

Bug description:
When in a hotel there is a often a T&Cs page that is delivered when
connecting to the network. Some combination of network manager and
update manager (or something else entirely) doesn't seem to be able to
handle this, and update are left in a non-working state after not
being able to read package headers file.
