Whenever, I run muon/updater 2.2.0, I notice the blue progress bar not behaving in a linear fashion as the updates are downloaded and installed; instead, a narrow blue bar continuously moves back and forth across the progress bar field until. It NEVER provides ANY useful information regarding the completeness of the download- or install-process; instead, it always leaves me guessing as to how much longer they are going to take. VERY FRUSTRATING! However, I experienced no problem whatsoever with the older version of muon-updater that is included in Kubuntu 12.04 LTS; that version of muon works perfectly. This is the reason why I went back to 12.04; I thought this problem would be fixed by now, but I guess I was wrong. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on update manager in System Tray, or select from KDE menu in System Tab. 2. Enter root password. 3. Observe the blue progress-bar as updates are downloaded and then installed. Actual Results: A narrow, blue progress indicator simply moves left and right repeatedly, instead of growing towards the right in a linear-manner as the updates are downloaded; ditto for the installation progress-bar. Expected Results: The progress-bars should have grown in a linear-manner to indicate percent-completed; that is what they are there for. I am running Kubuntu 14.04 LTS on a 20-inch iMac5,1 (late 2006); I believe this to be irrelevant, but I will mention it anyway.
I apologize for the missing word in the second part of first sentence in the Description above; it should read, "until completed".
This bug affects me as well, in Muon 5.4. It's really frustrating when downloading -dbg packages, for example, or any large file. Upon waiting a considerable time, the status bar will jump from 0 to 67 percent, for example. There's no consistency and therefore the information presented is not helpful in any way.

This should be working well now. Also everything changed, we're using packagekit for that now.
