Bug description:
  [Impact]
  update-manager is missing a recommends on libgtk2-perl which allows it to display debconf prompts. While we've fixed software-properties-gtk and gnome-software to depend / recommend libgk2-perl and this will resolve the issue for most installations it'd be best to fix update-manager too for all releases in case there is some installation situation where libgtk2-perl is missing.

  [Test Case]
  1) Uninstall libgtk2-perl - 'sudo apt-get remove libgtk2-perl'
  2) Launch update-manager from a terminal
  3) Observe the following message in the terminal:

  debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
  debconf: (Can't locate Gtk2.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Gtk2 module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 91.)
  debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog

  [Regression Potential]
  None - no really! We are just adding a recommends on another package.

  Original Description
  --------------------
  I'm not really sure whether this is a bug; I think the install was hanging for a while, with a blank window displaying. I killed the install and it went away, but it's certainly plausible that this is due to something local, not a bug. Feel free to close this if nobody else is seeing it.
