From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90) Description of problem: When you recieve a LONG list of failed dependencies, the list can cause the dialog to scroll off of the screen. Since the "ok" button is at the bottom of this dialog it is also now hidden off the screen and the user does not know what to do next. (Newbies may not realize they can use the alt key and mouse to move the dialog up until the ok button is exposed...) How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: If you really want to... Do something silly like trying to upgrade to the LATEST kdeutils while you have kde1.0. :-) btw my resolution is > 1024x768. Additional info:
hmm, interesting. I'll see if I can make that a scrolled dialog instead.
up2date is no longer shipped with Fedora Core; it's functionality has been replaced by pup, found in the pirut package. The only fixes likely to be made to up2date in RedHat Linux and earlier Fedora Core versions are security fixes by Fedora Legacy. This does not seem to be a security bug, so I'm closing it. It's also very old and possibly already fixed. If the problem is appropriate to RHEL and occurs to a user there, it can be filed as such.
