Public bug reported:
update-manager 1:0.181, Ubuntu Ringtail
It is possible for Software Updater to produce a "Software Updater"
alert: "Package does not exist" "Check the spelling of the package name,
and that the appropriate repository is enabled."
That might be appropriate when a third-party application asks for
installation of a particular package. But it isn't really appropriate
when installing updates. The updates you're installing are updates that
were previously shown in Software Updater because they *were* available.
So, Software Updater needs to special-case the error message in this
situation. Is it just that the package version has disappeared from the
repository betwen the time Software Updater opened, and the time you
chose to install it? Or is there another cause?
