Title:
  Icon suggests I right click, which doesn't help

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Install something which results in a broken package (like corsix-th from http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/ for example - it requires lua-filesystem which isn't in 12.04).
  Note a "No Entry" sign in the notification area.
  Click on it to see the text:-

  "An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click
  menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong".  Followed by some
  more text.

  There's a couple of things wrong with this.

  1) There is no "Package Manager" on the "right click menu"
  2) Running "apt-get in a terminal" just shows the help for apt-get. 

  So it's pretty unhelpful to anyone who has this problem, and would be
  exactly the kind of person who needs this help.

  It should possibly suggest running specific apt-get commands, or maybe
  link to a document on the wiki explaining how to get out of this mess?
