[Bug 709705] [NEW] [sponsor-patch] Ugly error message while computer has been disconnected from internet

[Artur Rona]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

sponsor-patch shows very ugly message when computer is loosing
connection with internet. Probably for other scripts this message could
be improved.
