--- Comment #9 from Romain Larvet-Boyer <[email protected]> ---
I agree that the main issue is user trust, but I think the problem goes beyond
the wording of the progress dialog.

In my case, the update starts automatically when LibreOffice is launched and
can take several minutes. This happens precisely when I open the application
because I need to use it.

A more user-respecting behaviour would be:

1. check automatically whether an update is available;
2. inform the user about it;
3. ask whether the update should be installed now or postponed.

For example:

“An update is ready to be installed. LibreOffice will be unavailable for a few
minutes.”

Buttons:

* Update now
* Remind me later

The current behaviour leaves the user unable to access the application, without
having chosen the timing of the operation. Even with a clearer description of
what is being updated, that would remain disruptive.

The most important improvement, in my opinion, is therefore not only to explain
what is happening, but to let the user decide when the update is applied.
