Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Upgrading from 8.10 (Intrepid) to 9.04 Beta (Jaunty) (okay,actually a few days before the actual beta...), in the "Do you want to start the upgrade?" window, I am told:

"This download will take about 9 minutes with your connection."

immediately followed by:

"Fetching and installing the upgrade can take several hours."

These are contradictory and confusing messages, and should be reconciled somehow.
