Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: plymouth
Logged in. Started synaptic. Clicked on reload.
I scanned through the list of packages and saw that ubuntu-desktop,
ubuntu-standard, and ubuntu-minimal were to be upgraded. So I marked
those three for upgrade and clicked on apply. I should note that two
other packages were dragged in to meet dependencies of the three I
clicked. They were related to the plymouth-theme. I had expected all, or
at least many, of the upgradeable packages to be pulled in as
dependencies. But, that's why we do experiments, to test our
expectations against reality.
This is not a critical bug. I decided to file it because I've seen a lot
of updates go slightly wrong because packages were updated that while
the packages they depend on were not yet in the repository. I've seen a
lot more of that type of problem since upgrading to Alpha 3 and Beta 1
than I have seen with alpha and beta releases in the past. On previous
versions of Ubuntu, at least 3 or 4 version back, I have always kept one
machine running the current alpha starting at alpha 1. This time I've
had a lot more problems with the early alphas. In fact, the old laptop I
use for that would not install until Beta 1. I wound up running Alpha 3
on my desktop cause I really wanted to see what it was like!
As an old developer and some times software manager I associate an up
tick in configuration bugs with either to much pressure on the
developers or to much confidence. :-) Both need to be looked at
carefully.
