That's not a KPackageKit bug, even on Synaptic it will tell you to do the same. If you want a better handling you should start by asking the backend developer what can be done which afaik there is nothing. Reassigning this bug to the developer you mentioned - I forgot his name somehow - would do it, IGNORING this bug can cause a support center / neighbour / local geek to earn some money / words of thankfulness but it will in any case leave an impression of a unrealiable system which one could find harmful to some goal (for example "making Linux ready for the desktop"). As I don't use KPackageKit myself I am not interested helping to improve this software or it's stack, so I won't bother finding the source of mistake myself. I just hope no one else is hit by this bug again. you can be sure there will be lots of ppl hit by this which is not actually a bug, aptitude/apt-get both suggests you to issue dpkg -reconfigure -a Then I hope apt-get/aptitude get a decent GUI someday which can resolve those problems via the GUI saving the regular user time for a commandline course ;) |
