Description of problem: Package kit applet offered important security updates to three gnutls packages. When I agreed it upgraded ALL packages with absolutely no indication that was happening. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-0.1.12-10.20080505.fc9@x86_64 PackageKit-libs-0.1.12-10.20080505.fc9@x86_64 gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9@x86_64 How reproducible: First time I've tried it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Package kit applet offers 3 gnutls security update packages 2. Click button to agree to updates Actual results: Over 50 rpms were upgraded on the system (including one that broke X for me. Absolutely no indication was given at any stage that other upgrades were being performed. Expected results: Only the security updates I agreed to should be installed.
Did you get notified with a notification bubble?
Yes the security updates were enumerated in a notification bubble.
Well, the code assumes you want all updates. What is sane to do here - do we just update the three gnutls packages that we advertised, or all the other packages too? Should we just fix the wording?
From a user's point of view I think it's clear that if I get offered three security updates and a button that says update or install it should just do those offered. Maybe you could add a separate clearly marked button for a full update and a note on how many packages that would apply. Maybe "Install security updates" and "Install all available updates". It is very likely that I'm going to want to install just the security updates when offered, and leave bug fixes/feature enhancements as they interest me.
Created attachment 306924 [details] something like this? This is what I've added into git master.
Looks great, thanks!
