** Description changed:

  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...
