the progress of the downloaded data not consistent

[Wousser]

Binary package hint: update-manager

If you run update-manager you can see the progress of the amount data that is downloaded:
44% [2 gnome-games-data 4966352/9902kB 50%] 421kB/s 15s
using bytes and kB or MB is not consistent.
Since update-manager itself is using kB or MB the progress of the downloaded bytes should be in kB or MB too, to be consistent with the total size of the package.

I changed the package into apt as Synaptic/update-manager both use apt.
Confirmed for: apt 0.7.14ubuntu6

This is already implemented but it's hardcoded to not use this format.

Here's the fix to change the format. This changes the Mode to Medium instead of Long. This doesn't affect anything else.

Thanks for posting a patch. Since the package is maintained in a bzr branch I'd suggest to turn the patch into a merge proposal by branching from the URL:

  bzr branch http://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/apt/ubuntu

and then submit a Merge proposal as outlined in https://help.launchpad.net/BranchMergeProposals

I'd also recommend to add a proper changelog entry.

This already got applied! A duplicate bug was opened (bug 275243) with the same change and it got applied in time for 10.04. I'm going to mark this bug a duplicate of the other one (even though it was the other way around) because that's the bug that got used.
