2006-08-09 17:43:46 Carthik Sharma synaptic: status Needs Info Fix Released
2006-08-09 17:43:46 Carthik Sharma synaptic: statusexplanation Bugzilla status=NEEDINFO, product=Ubuntu, component=synaptic Since there has been no action or active feedback on this bug for about a year, I decide to take Synaptic on a spin to see if the problem still exists. Here's what I did: 1) Disconnected from the internet 2) In synaptic, marked 3dchess to install 3) Clicked "apply" Synaptic now throws an error message saying the package could not be downloaded. It does not say "Successfully applied changes" as the reporter claims it does. I am closing this bug. Please feel free to reopen if this seems to be in error, or if you experience the problem again. Thank you.

Thank you. Perhaps you should try to reproduce the situtation in which the error appeared before you close a bug. The bug reports referrs ro failed downloads so you cannot compare this with a successful download. By the way I think it would be better to reject the bug instead of saying that we released a fix - this would imply that the bug was confirmed. I can confirm the error. I think that the inital reporter pointed to a wording problem. If you successfully install all downloaded packages and there are on the hand some failed ones, the text of the final dialog shouldn't say "all" changes, since it only refers to the packages that could be downloaded.

I never experienced this issue. Are you still able to recreate it? Since the original reporter was using a very old version of Ubuntu which is not supported anymore I'm closing this report. Please reopen if this is still an issue in a later version of Ubuntu.
