Description Andrew D. Stadler 2006-05-22 21:47:42 UTC
Description of problem:

Occasionally during a pup update cycle I see dialogs such as:

The package xml-commons-resolver - 1.1-3jpp.noarch is signed with a key from
JPackage Project (JPP Official Keys) <jpackage> (0xC431416D). 
Would you like to import this key?

I have two problems with this dialog:

(1)  Minor:  Some HTML style formatting is sneaking into the display text.

(2)  Major:  This dialog provides absolutely no guidance for a new (or
experienced) user.  Do I need this key?  Can I update without it?  If I click
cancel, do I still get my update?  Or did I just cancel all of my updates?  If I
click import, where is it stored and who gets to look at it?  etc. etc. etc.

I am an experienced user and a designer of security protocols, and I have no
idea what this dialog really means or the ramifications of my two click choices.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pirut-1.0.1-1   
(not sure if this applies to pup too, but rpm -q pup returns no result)

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-11 22:15:07 UTC
The formatting is improved.  If you have concrete suggestions on how to improve
the dialog without making it ten pages long, feel free to open a separate issue
(or reopen this one)
