[Bug 1914663] [NEW] Software Updater must tell WHICH resource it cannot reach

[Humphrey van Polanen Petel]

Public bug reported:

Software Updater sometimes reports "Failed to download repository
information" and "Failed to download package files".

But my internet connection is OKAY.

That means that Software Updater cannot reach some resource, but it does
not tell me which.

And that means that I am unable to resolve the problem.

And that means that this is a bug.
