Description of the need
When looking to see the list of available updates, I usually first try going to Admin > Functionality > Update Modules. This is not helpful, especially if the server doesn't support automatic updates, and all you see is an error message.
It would be good to provide a link to the available updates status report to help people get to the right place.
Proposed solution
Display a message like this at the top of the page:
For version information and update status for all installed modules, see the available updates report.

Thanks, the /tmp folder was the problem. I moved it elsewhere and then the updated worked. Thanks again!
Update 1.35.1 appears to install but hasn't
Probably not the reason, but worth to do a quick check: Sometimes the update cache interferes, so if something's odd with updates - some module (or core) claims to have updated, but then...
Update 1.35.1 appears to install but hasn't
Nope, not touched any permissions!
