** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: update-manager
  
  Ubuntu Gutsy
  
  As I write this, Update Manager is downloading package files. What I see, in 
the space of about 30 seconds:
  * "2h4m54s remaining"
  * "2h4m52s remaining"
  * "2h25m1s remaining"
  * "2h24m58s remaining"
  * "2h37m40s remaining"
  * "2h37m38s remaining"
  * "4h36m8s remaining"
  * "4h9m33s remaining"
  
  So Update Manager apparently doesn't know the time remaining nearly as
  precisely as it is pretending to.
  
  What I should see:
  * "about 2 hours remaining"
  * "about 2 hours remaining"
  * "about 2 hours remaining"
  * "about 2 hours remaining"
  * "about 3 hours remaining"
  * "about 3 hours remaining"
  * "about 5 hours remaining"
- * "about 5 hours remaining"
+ * "about 4 hours remaining"
  
  Perhaps follow a pattern something like this:
  * 0 ≤ estimate < 50 seconds: "about n seconds remaining"
  * 50 seconds ≤ estimate < 50 minutes: "about n minutes remaining"
  * 50 minutes ≤ estimate < 23 hours: "about n hours remaining"
  * 23 hours ≤ estimate: "about n days remaining"
  
  See also bug 74884. It may save time to fix this bug at the same time as
  bug 144455, which is the same problem in a different window with time
  estimates in a different format. (For consistency, the two windows
  should present their estimates in the same format. One way of fixing
  this would be to make them the same window.)

Time remaining in "Downloading package files" window is overly precise
