Title:
  aptdaemon doesn't respond to network errors correctly

Status in Aptdaemon:
  New
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  (A script is attached to demonstrate the behavior)

  1) Go to NetworkManager and disconnect from your network
  2) Run the script attached

  What happens - The update starts, continues for a few seconds and then finishes with the state "exit-sucess"
  What should happen - The update starts, fails and raises an error because it can't connect to the internet.

  1) Make sure you are connected to the Internet
  2) Run the script attached
  3) After a few seconds, go to NetworkManager and disconnect yourself from the internet

  What happens - The update starts and just hangs
  What should happen - The update starts and then fails (raising an error) because it can no longer connect to the internet.


  Such behavior is essential for applications like software-updater and
  the way it works at the moment seems counter-intuitive.
