Comment 14 for bug 1623856

"
A patched version of aptdaemon for Ubuntu 16.10 has been built in the following PPA:

  * https://launchpad.net/~flexiondotorg/+archive/ubuntu/sru

I've tested the patched aptdaemon alongside the patched update-manager from yakkety-proposed. Together they address the issue raised.

Yes.

I just ran Software Updater, and I can see both download- and install-detail.

The detail for install was only about ten lines when I maximized it.
(See new attached screenshot.)
It is possible that since I only managed to maximize the window AFTER the install started,
that it took the install-detail height from the height of the download-detail.

I might have expected the height to change after I maximized, though....

Comments:

Unlike with synaptic and gdebi, there is no option to close/not close the download/install window after completion.
There also is no ability to do cut-and-paste from the detail terminal (i.e. one can select, but ctrl-C, and -V have no effect, and there is no context-menu with COPY and SELECT_ALL) that I have seen in at least one of the above package programs).
This makes it impossible to copy failed install info, for use in bug reports.

Is anyone aware of a config file for update-manager? I would like to be able to say:
Use Maximized Install Window: True
Always Show Detail: True
etc.

Is any of this bug material, or should I just enter it as a Wish List bug?
