Package: gdebi-core
Version: 0.9
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
So in the course of installing dependencies gdebi tried to download a package
which is no longer available in the repository. The problem is somewhat clear
if running the text version if one knows what a 404 error is and what could
cause it.
However if using gdebi-gtk or gdebi-kde the user has no indication as to what
went wrong except that not all required files could be downloaded and this
recommendation:
Please check your internet connection or installation medium.
In fact the fix is to run 'sudo apt-get update'. But the GUI tools provide no
way of doing this (one has to know to look for the right entry in the desktop
menus). The thing is that since these GUI tools are supposed to be used by
novices, they should really take care of such details.
One approach would be to perform the 'apt-get update' before starting the
installation whenever some part of the package list is more than 12 hours old.
I have no idea how to do so though.
