Description Zé 2012-12-12 18:01:11 UTC

Im using Ubuntu raring and sometimes happens that muon updater fails, and that happens when the updates require new packages to be installed.

Usually muon updater prompts a dialog saying:

Not all packages could be marked for upgrade. The available upgrades may require new packages to be installed or removed. Do you want to mark upgrades that may require the installation or removal of additional packages?

and i clin in button "Mark Upgrades", then appears a small windows showing the new required packages and asking:

Mark additional changes?
This action requires a change to another package:

and lists the package(s), i click in button "OK".

And i continue clickint to install updates but that never happens and Muon Updater enters in this loop without finishing the update.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Already described
Actual Results:  
Already described

Expected Results:  
Muon Update should be able to finish the update in which includes installing the new required packages.

Can you still reproduce this with a recent version of Muon (2.1.3)?
