[Bug 991767] [NEW] Notice of failed download provides no feedback for completed action

[O Gopal]

Public bug reported:

Suppose on install you tick the box to include Fluendo and such extras.
And suppose that during the install your net connection breaks and the
extras fail to download. A window will come up--"Information available"
--telling you of the failure, in several languages. Excellent! And a
button will offer "Run this action now."

But after you press the button to run the action, you will receive no
feedback to tell you whether the action has succeeded or not, and the
window will staysopen, with the same message and same option to "Run
this action now."

This is confusing.

Expected behavior: Once the action has completed, the user should see a
notice telling him so. And either the original window should close or
else the "Run this action" button should be greyed out, leaving only the
option "Close."
