Bug Description
Suppose on install you tick the box to include Fluendo and such extras. And suppose that during the install your net connection breaks and the extras fail to download. A window will come up--"Information available"--telling you of the failure, in several languages. Excellent! And a button will offer "Run this action now."
But after you press the button to run the action, you will receive no feedback to tell you whether the action has succeeded or not, and the window will staysopen, with the same message and same option to "Run this action now."
This is confusing.
Expected behavior: Once the action has completed, the user should see a notice telling him so. And either the original window should close or else the "Run this action" button should be greyed out, leaving only the option "Close."

I've run into what appears to be the same bug again, this time in regard to downloading extra files for an Adobe Flash plugin.
Message: ------- ------- -

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- installer
The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now. Running this command requires an active Internet connection. ------- ------- ---

I followed the directions, and I believe the download was successful. But the window still shows the same display, with a "Run this action now" button.
