Bug Description
On ubunu 12.10, using muon-updater to keep packages up to date. After doing an update, I sometime see a yellow lightbulb on the tray. Clicking it gets a box that says:
-------
Failure to download extra data files
The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed .... flashplugin-
Button: Run this action now.
-------
clicking the button, a new terminal window opens saying:
-------
flashplugin-
-------
...then, nothing. No indication of progress, what is happening, what I should do or not do. Eventually, some more text comes up on the terminal:
-------
Installing from local file /tmp/tmpyRu6WZ.gz
Flash Plugin installed.
-------
...again, no indication of what should be done. Finally I decided it was OK to close the terminal window and the 'Failure to download' dialog box. This turned out to be OK (it seems), since flash seems to have been upgraded correctly.
The interface of the plugin being downloaded/
'Will now attempt to download and install flash plugin. Please leave this terminal window open until the process is complete."
Then durring the download it should show the progress, or at least say 'downloading files, please wait"
Then when its done it should say somthing to the effect of "installation complete, you can close this terminal window now".
