gdebi-gtk - Include "uninstall" button

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: gdebi

When double-clicking an already installed package, an "uninstall" button should appear somewhere to allow for easier, more intuitive uninstalling of recently installed packages.

Having to open synaptic and perform a search is just not handy enough. You should be able to uninstall anything folloing the same method that you followed to install it.

Changed importance to wishlist.

[Linus Hoppe (linus-hoppe-deactivatedaccount)]

Very good idea, I'm of the same opinion as you!

[Lightbreeze (nedhoy-gmail)]

This is not a 'paper cut' because it is not a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10

Don't worry, though, this is still a valid bug. It just isn't within the scope of "One Hundred Paper Cuts"

[Linus Hoppe (linus-hoppe-deactivatedaccount)]

Is it planed to implement this feature? This can't be hard to implement!

[Linus Hoppe (linus-hoppe-deactivatedaccount)]

There's a brainstorm idea: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/19804/

[Linus Hoppe (linus-hoppe-deactivatedaccount)]

Is there any hope to see this feature in karmic?

[Andrew (and471)]

AppCenter will replace gdebi-gtk in karmic/karmic+1

[Twisted Lincoln, Inc. (twistedlincoln)]

I'd be willing to sponsor the addition of this feature if a developer is willing to add it for a reasonable fee. Feel free to contact me directly via the address on file with Launchpad.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

a feature that does not exist in the app which makes it 'not a papercut'

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.
