Package: update-notifier
Version: 0.99.3debian7
Hi,
the last version of update-notifier is a huge improvement for displaying
relevant information even to non-admins, but a small yet annoying glitch
remains.
Here are the steps to reproduce.
* One user (guru) is in the sudo group, one user (n00b) is not.
* Log-in as n00b, while some updates are available. No icon is
displayed, as expected.
* As guru (or root), install one of the updates (with apt-get
install foo, not apt-get upgrade). During the installation, n00b
gets a gray icon warning that an upgrade is in progress. This is
expected.
* After the update is complete, there are still other updates
available. Then, the icon on n00b’s session becomes yellow and
it proposes to install them with gksu when clicking on it.
I think in this case, the icon should disappear, to come back to the
status it was in before the upgrade was in progress.
On a side note: when a reboot is needed, n00b doesn’t get the reboot
proposal. I don’t know whether it is intentional. I think it should see
that icon, since if he’s the one using the machine at that moment, he
should be the one rebooting it too.
Cheers,
