update-manager seems to hang when waiting for apt-listbugs prompting on the terminal

[James A. Morrison]

update-manager version: 0.44.12
apt-listbugs version: 0.0.49ubuntu1

Steps to reproduce, do an update using update-manager where one package has had a grave or serious bug between the current version and the version being upgraded to.

Eventually the progress bar will start going back and forth without any progress.

Clicking on the 'Show Terminal' arrow will show the terminal is stalled waiting for the user to accept the upgrade even with potential bugs by apt-listbugs.

Thanks for your bugreport.

The most obvious (and easiest fix) would be for apt-listbugs to grow a gtk interface (just like apt-listchanges).

Cheers,
 Michael

opening u-m task for Ubuntu, and rejecting upstream u-m.

Although the easiest change (per mvo) is for apt-listbugs to do the Right Thing, mvo did not reject the u-m task, so I am keeping it open.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

I am rejecting the apt-listbugs Ubuntu task: this package has been obsoleted on Intrepid and Jaunty. As such, this is not an issue anymore.

If you feel that this should still be pursued for previous versions, please nominate the task for your release.
