Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates?action=diff&rev2=162&rev1=161>

** Description changed:

  When an error occurs during the updates process, it is presented on a
  non-wrapping line near the bottom of the screen.
  <http://popey.com/~alan/phablet/device-2014-02-07-112816.png> This is
  okay for debugging, but unattractive and unhelpful for widespread use.
  
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#installing-mobile-system>: "If
+ installation fails, an alert should appear, with title “Installation
+ Failed”, text depending on the error, and an “OK” button that returns to
+ the update listing."
+ 
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#installing-mobile-other>: "If a
+ manual download or installation fails, or a background download has
+ failed repeatedly, the text “Download failed” or “Installation failed”
+ should replace the item’s status text. (An alert should not be used,
+ because the error might occur while “Updates” is not the current screen
+ or “System Settings” isn’t even the focused app.) Below this should be
+ text describing the particular error, for example..."
+ 
  Not to be confused with bug 1215901, about the text of specific errors.
