Bug Description
In Synaptic, when a user has selected some packages to be installed and clicks Apply, the resulting dialogue will display the list of packages to be installed/removed and occasionally a list of packages that are 'unchanged'. This is confusing (I am not a noob and I don't know what it means!), particularly if it only lists a couple of packages in here, because the logical inference is that if only a few are unchanged then all the other packages on the machine are going to be changed(!) which is not the case, and might scare off some new users from actually applying the changes they wanted to.
It's a small one but would benefit nonetheless, either by being removed completely, or the label being changed.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of
this project.
Synaptic is being replaced by AppCentre in 9.10 , Hence not a papercut issue. https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/AppCenter
You can add your suggestions in the comments page of the wiki.
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.
