Description Daniel Duris 2026-02-09 18:58:09 UTC

SUMMARY
The usability best practice says that each warning or error must provide recourse. No recourse or actionable option is provided with this error. Moreover, this is not an error, but rather just an informational message (who cares that some repo changed its version from 10.0 to 10.1 etc.? How does that influence the update?).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have some repo that changes its value
2. Launch Discover

OBSERVED RESULT
Error without actionable option or recourse. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Not even shown or shown not as popup interruption-error, but as part of Discover as info message somewhere.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
Kernel Version: 6.14.0-37-generic (64-bit)

apt gives user recourse:
E: Repository 'https://dl.ui.com/unifi/debian stable InRelease' changed its 'Codename' value from 'unifi-10.0' to 'unifi-10.1'
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.
Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N] Y

Discover? Nothing: click OK, do nothing.
