Public bug reported:
So I was offline last night, and I noticed that the toolbar icon was
still there and bugging me - You have updates available! You have
updates available! I will keep taking up screen real estate until you
explicitly kill me?
But of course, being offline, there was no way I could update.
Software-properties doesn't download the packages for later, of course. In
fact, I can't think of a single situation where software-properties should be
bugging me offline:
# The packages could've already been downloaded through apt-get upgrade -f. But
then I obviously already know about the new packages and have explicitly
refrained from installing them.
# Installation is from a CD. But how often are packages available from a CD?
You install from disk, but then by definition you already have the latest
packages it has to offer.
# ???
So: I would like software-properties to either automatically download
upgrade packages (but not install them, obviously), or to be quiet when
Internet access is not available (this is surely knowable - isn't one of
the default GNOME applets for network connectivity?).
