"downloading package" dialog is resizing with every new package

[Frank Meerkötter]

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

When downloading new packages kpackagekit is resizing the progress dialog with every new package (the width of the dialog is determined by the length of the package name). When doing an update where a lot of packages are downloaded the dialog gets resized sometimes every second.

The size of the dialog should not be constantly updated.

Has this already been fixed in 0.5.0.3? http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KPackageKit?content=84745 See the first item in the changelog.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

It does appear to have been dealt with upstream already in a version that we intend to use in Lucid, so it should not be addressed as an Ubuntu specific papercut.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package kpackagekit - 0.5.4-0ubuntu2

---------------
kpackagekit (0.5.4-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt)
  * Don't use the quilt dh addon. It was causing an FTBFS since there wasn't
    a build-depend on quilt and with source format 3.0 we don't need it
  * Remove unnecessary build-depend on cdbs
  * Bump build-depend version of pkg-kde-tools to support the earliest version
    that included the kde dh addon (0.5.0)
  * Bump required version of libpackagekit-qt-dev to 0.5.5 as specified by
    CMakeLists.txt
  * Bump the binary package's packagekit dependency to 0.5.5 as well
  * Replace dependency on kdebase-workspace-bin with polkit-kde-1, as it needs
    the polkit-1 stuff now
  * Bugs fixed in 0.5.x:
