"Automatically Close" checkbox is not remembered

[Amr Hassan]

Binary package hint: gdebi

This is not pretty serious, the new option "Automatically close after the changes have been successfully applied." in gdebi is not remembered as it is with synaptic's. I would really like it to be.

I can confirm it happens to me too.

 Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention.

Your observations are from the older release, Kindly test this in Karmic> Until someone confirms this in Karmic , it is not a papercut.

 A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.
 For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut
 Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "incomplete" ONLY in the papercuts project.

[Vish (vish)]

Invalid only in papercuts project.

I'm still seeing this problem in up to date Karmic. mac_v, is there a reason this doesn't qualify as a papercut?

@Jonathan Blackhall :
The bug was closed since there was no response from the bug reporter.

Okay I have linked a branch which fixes the problem. Not only does it remember your selection, it also uses Synaptic's config so that the checkbox is consistent between both apps.

[Vish (vish)]

Branch has been merged into main.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gdebi - 0.6.2ubuntu1

---------------
gdebi (0.6.2ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * merged from bzr trunk, this can be later synced with debian
    once debian has a newer version, nothing ubuntu specific
    in this anymore

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * debian/control:
    - depend on the latest python-apt to get the "dump()"
      method
  * GDebi/GDebi.py:
    - synaptics config is always stored under /root

  [ Andrew Higginson ]
  * GDebi/GDebi.py:
    - Read whether we autoclose from synaptic config
      file and write to it as well (LP: #376966)

  [ Michal Simunek ]
  * po/cs.po:
    - Update Czech translation (Closes: #590848).

  [ Luca Falavigna ]
  * GDebi/GDebiKDE.py:
    - Switch back to kdesudo, kdesu isn't available anymore both in
      Debian and Ubuntu (Closes: #591306).
  * GDebi/GDebi.py:
    - Adjust FetchProgressAdapter namespace, fix NameError exception
      trying to install packages which requires more dependencies
      (LP: #614690).
