Title:
  "Not all updates can be installed" dialog has unclear buttons &
  unselectable text

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The button labels are not clear.

  "Partial Upgrade" begins an upgrade
  In old versions: "Close" -- does this mean close the dialog, or close the app? (ie, give up completely)
  In Raring: "Continue" -- (from bug 1137144) Reading that message, "Partial Upgrade" and "Continue" are the same thing. There is no "Cancel" to backout. I'm stuck unless I just close the dialog.

  
  The deeper problem is that I don't understand why this dialog appears. The model of Software Update as I understand it is that the user can pick which updates they want. When faced by this dialog, I am confused about how I say "no, I only want to pick SOME packages to update).
