Title:
  update-manager "Check your Internet connection"

Status in aptdaemon package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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... I think problem
  located in source code
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/tree/aptdaemon/worker/aptworker.py#n969

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