No, it doesn't. In 5.4.1.2, a later download still waits until an earlier installation has finished. ** Attachment added: screenshot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/438870/+attachment/3463799/+files/queue.png ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)

You're probably right that downloading for more than one transaction at a time wouldn't be worth it. (It might save time if the downloads were from different servers, because some of the latency might be at the server's end rather than the client's. But in our case they will mostly be from the

You don't want a fix but a new feature. apt is completely transaction unaware - so this must be implemented in a level above apt (aptdaemon). But is it really worth the effort? How much time would we really safe? It only makes sense to start the next download during the installation phase of the

We could extract the to be downloaded packages during simulate and download them in the background. Since the download cache (archives) is locked during every operation we would have to add a secondary cache. Seems to get quite complicated. We would also have to deal with enabling additional

I've now mentioned this in the specification. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#bug-438870 Ideally, this shouldn't require any code changes to USC itself, just to aptdaemon and apt. USC should request every task immediately, if it doesn't do that already. apt should be able to do the

Shane, I've assigned this to me only so I can add it to the specification, so feel free to implement it! I just need to know a couple of things: 1. Can the installation script for package A make package B uninstallable in a way that dpkg would normally know before downloading package B? Or is

1. I would think the latter. 2. If package B requires package A and B fails it should stop downloading because a newer version of B that may be required might depend on a newer version of A. In that way the user doesnt waste bandwidth downloading something they my not need. -- Downloads should
