Title:
Package won't install but it won't give error message
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
- I have package "virtualbox-4.0" currently installed
- I try to install package "virtualbox-4.1" by double clicking on the .deb
file which I downloaded from
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/virtualbox-4.1_4.1.8-75467~Ubuntu~oneiric_i386.deb
This opens the Ubuntu Software Center
- A green checkmark (as if meaning "ok") is shown and below the
following message appears "Breaks existing package 'virtualbox-4.0'
that conflict: "Virtualbox". But the 'xxxx.deb' provides it via:
'virtualbox'
The second part starting with "But" seems to mean that the package CAN
be installed, and most importantly, there is an "Install" button on
the right which is not greyed out. Together with the green checkmark
this all gives me the confidence that I can safely click "Install" and
expect the package to be installed.
- So I click on "Install".
=> Observed behavior: the "install" buttoninstantly greys out and
nothing happens. The package is not installed and NO ERROR MESSAGE is
shown
Expected behavior: either the package should be installed succesfully, or an
error message dialog should appear explaining why it cannot be installed
Or, if the conflict is the reason why the package cannot be installed, the
"Install" button should not be shown at all (or should be greyed out from the
beginning) and a red cross icon should be shown instead of the green check mark.
