[Bug 2123691] [NEW] update-manager "Check your Internet connection"

[Andrei Cherniaev]

Public bug reported:

I have problem with one of repository. So I expect warning about it but I get warning with wrong advice:
"Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection."
My Internet connection is ok. I think this is bug, warning text should be different, should contains names of wrong repositories.

How to reproduce?
```
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam-stable.list <<'EOF'
deb [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg] https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ stable steam
deb-src [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg] https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ stable steam
EOF
```

Then start update-manager and you will see bug...

P.S. I can't copy text "Failed to download repository information" by
mouse... It makes bug reporting more harder... Fix also pls..
