Description of problem: kpackagekit uses a single progress bar to indicate both download and install progress, and it also seems to indicate download progress by number of packages, not by package size. This makes it a bit difficult to work out what it's doing sometimes -- for example, I didn't initially realise that "40%" really means "download done", and it can often "stick" for a while at 39% if the last package to download is big. I have a couple of suggestions: - Use a separate progress bar for downloading and installing -- so let it get to 100% downloaded and then start again (with clear UI indication) for the install - (May be harder) make the downloading progress bar indicate download *size*, not number of packages. (I don't think this is already the case) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kpackagekit-0.3.1-9.fc10.i386
I went on and reported this upstream for you. A new release is forthcoming, with many fixes and changes. Watch this space for updates.
