Description of problem: [root@juice tmp]# ls *rpm evolution-1.2.2-5.i386.rpm sendmail-8.12.8-5.90.i386.rpm [root@juice tmp]# rpm -Fvh *rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:evolution ########################################### [ 50%] 2:sendmail ########################################### [100%] Is evolution only half installed ? People said, this means "1 out of 2 (=50%) installed". If that is true, then the output is misleading and non-obvious. Please change it to something more understandable. Maybe: "50% overall" or "1/2" or "1 out of 2" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2-0.69.i386.rpm
I don't think there's any problem with the current behavior If anything, the confusing part is that the %postinstall, etc. scripts weren't included in the totals (so if you install 20 packages, you hit 100%, think you're done, but still have 20 scripts left to run). Other than that, I at least think it makes sense.
I think that one cause for the confusion might be that this output differs from what "update -u" produces: Preparing... ########################################### [100%] Installing... 1:openssl ########################################### [100%] 2:openssl-perl ########################################### [100%] "up2date -u" displays the progress for each package. I don't know what behavior is better, but both these programs should probably show the same type of progress since the output looks so similar, to avoid confusion.
