Description Hylke Bons 2011-08-21 12:15:27 UTC 
in the System Info panel there's a button that allows you to install updates. Only, it's not obvious at all that this is the case as the button is labeled with a status message [Updates Available] instead of action. It doesn't tell me what will happen when I click it. 

Some suggestions for improvement:

"[Software Update]" (it's kind of a place, not great, but better than the current label)
"[Install Updates]" (disabled when there are no updates available)
"X updates are available [Install Updates]"

    info: Make "updates" button labels clearer
    
    "System Up-To-Date" when there's nothing to update,
    "Install Updates" when there is something to install,
    "Checking for Updates" when, well, doing that.
