Bug Description
The attached screenshot shows the details where one of the items being upgraded in the batch failed. The upgrade was for the nvidia glx driver which encounted a problem and aborted the install to resolve manually. Since the upgrade did not take effect the package should have sent a fail code to synaptic.
Moved from synaptic to nvidia driver following discussion with tselliot on IRC. The issue is not a synaptic problem, its with the nvidia graphic driver not sending fail codes. Also moved to confirmed following the same discussion.
