[Bug 103240] Re: update/dist-upgrade wants user interaction but adept can't provide it
This is *NOT* something for the wishlist, it is a *SERIOUS* issue and causes all kinds of dpkg-errors, I even got segfaults because the package database is left in an inconsistent state afterwards. This is one of the things that will turn away novice Linux users because when they cannot fix it, they will have to reinstall or go back to whatever OS they came from! I just had the pleasure of a long dpkg-reconfigure session that I'd have preferred to omit. The problem is that Adept only shows that user interaction is necessary when you press "Details". Even then, the curses-based dialog of dpkg that is set by default looks broken and you often cannot interact with it properly. Since Adept aims to provide a user interface to package management, configuration of packages and acknowledgement of license-requests is a MUST, not a feature. An alternative might be to configure dpkg to use the KDE frontend for user interaction (I believe it is "dpkg --configure dialog", I have not yet tried but this could fix the issue that Adept cannot correctly handle console-interaction. -- update/dist-upgrade wants user interaction but adept can't provide it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103240 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Okay, next Beta, same bug. Till now i don't see any improvement in the handling of adept. May be a Kubuntu developer can say something about this? -- update/dist-upgrade wants user interaction but adept can't provide it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103240 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This does seem to be symptomatic of general poor handling of user interaction in adept. Adding it to the wishlist.

I have had similar problems, namely with the first installation of Java. It's necessary to "press" an OK button to accept Sun's licence, but it's not possible in Adept. Synaptic doesn't have the problem.
