Package: synaptic Version: 0.57.5.1 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
This is wishlist as I don't see a real bug here and i'm familiar with using synaptic. But a new user to debian or synaptic could be confused. I met one of these new to debian users at "LinuxInfoTag 2005" and he couldn't see the magic behind the update process and did just update the package lists on his Sarge box any time. To improve the usability, synaptic could automagicaly switch to the list of packages which are upgradeable after the user has fetched the lists. Or synaptic could just make the entry for the list as bold text or place a special icon. Something the unexperienced user can see - so he does the right thing and gets his security updates installed. Another solution (maybe better) could be a dialog which warns the user: "there are updates possible - want you now install these packages? [yes of course], [No thanks, i know what I'm doing]" after he fetched new package lists or before he quits synaptic.
