Control: tags -1 - experimental + pending
Hi Marchin, 2005-08-16 11:07 Marcin Owsiany:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.3.1-4 Severity: minor To reproduce: 1) start aptitude on a not so fast computer 2) select any package 3) press g 4) press g again to start download 5) press enter to start installation 6) the screen switches to all black and installation messages appear 7) package is now installed, press enter to continue 8) repeat steps 2-5 9) now, for a while, the "press enter to continue" message from step 7 is still shown, as dpkg scrambles to run. depending on the machine, this can take from a fraction of second, to a dozen or so seconds. This can be misleading to a newbie, who could think that the pause is because he needs to press enter (he does not realize that the message is from previous run). Actually I have seen a few users pressing enter there. To fix this, either clear the screen, or print a few empty lines and then a message of "starting installation..." or similar.
Thanks for the suggestion. This has finally been implemented and it will be present in the next release, so marking as +pending. Cheers. -- Manuel A.
