update-manager loses the selection

[Vicente Ruiz]

Binary package hint: update-manager

When I have updates available, I select only the updates that I want.
Then, if I cancel the dowloading or gives error, I lose the selection
and I must return to select.

I can confirm that..

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Thanks for your report. This is still an issue in latest release.

Hi Robert,

Please please don't forward dupe bugs unless the new bug has more activity/a solution that the old bug doesn't. It throws away history that a bug may have built up over time...

Duplicate against older bugs where possible rather than newer ones!

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

As far as I can tell, both bugs contain similar levels of activity (mainly people confirming) and the newer one has been marked as a duplicated, so the process has been followed correctly.

[Robert Roth (evfool)]

@Sitsofe Wheeler: I have marked this as the "master bug" (set the older one as a duplicate of this one) as this had a bit more activity, and this has been set to Triaged wit Low importance, whereas the other one is still in Confirmed state with a lower (Wishlist priority). Both bugs were reported for the same release, with 3 months difference, so in this case I guess it's OK to mark the older one as a duplicate. But if this really is a problem and more people disagree with my decision, I can set the other one as the master bug, set it to Triaged and raise its priority. Anyway, I'm trying to follow the mark the newer bugs as duplicates principle, but I'll try to stick more to it from now on.

Brendan, Robert:
You're right - there is barely anything between these two so duping either way seems fine. I should have looked at the initial reporting dates rather than just bug number.

Robert:
You know what you're doing far better than I :-) My apologies for commenting in error and from above it appears most agree with your decision so I wouldn't worry.
