In ubuntu mate welcome there in the introduction setting there is a way to launch the software updater. Why not for new users if it fails to find packages on install 1, check internet connection then maybe have a dialog to launch software updates to get the package list working which software updater does internally. OR does this same behavior happen with software updater as well?
