Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
If the package cache is updated when connected to the network, then the
computer is moved to a captive portal -- for example, if it's a laptop
taken into a cafe or hotel -- a result similar to the attached
screenshot will occur.
I think that update-manager, when downloading changelog files, should
first check that it's actually connected to the Internet by checking for
the Release file, or perhaps the meta-release file on
changelogs.ubuntu.com.
