Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

In edgy and Feisty beta there is a usability problem with Synaptic packet manager.

- When you search for a packet using the GUI, it completely freezes untill the search is done (no threads ?).
- When you install packages, the install popup window tries to get attention even when you are using other programs. So when you are using Firefox for example, and the downloading of the new packages is finished, the install window jumps in front of you.

I personally experience both problems as rather annoying
