Bug Description

We don't know what went wrong if gksu fails. Either the password dialog itself failed by provind a wrong password or synaptic could not apply the changes:

- failed download
- failed installation/partially installed (returns true)
- falied lock

Changed in gnome-app-install:
assignee: nobody → glatzor
status: Unconfirmed → Confirmed

We probably want to fix this by keeping a list of the expected results and comparing that to what we get when we re-read the package cache. Using the exit-status may be too unreliable, especially since gksu may mess with this status.
