Hey... Seams to be fixed now, right? I just wanted to report that the term "partial upgrade" is confusing and that it should be renamed to something like "dist-upgrade" :( So I post now to that people who decided that rename:
Technically, after 1 year puzzling about the message "Do you want to do a partial upgrade" I think it means: doing apt-get dist-upgrade instead of apt-get upgrade (in other terms: a "harder" upgrade). Right? But when someone like me reads this message , he will think: "Ok, due to dependency problems, not everything can be installed right now, but when I agree I will get at least some of them". So for me it is less than a normal upgrade because I think that no problematic installs will happen. (I call it a "soft" upgrade) So I agree to something that in real has much more risk as I think. But I also see the problem: - gui applications and console application should use same definitions - but the words of the console apt-get are confusing for only-gui-users (because dist-upgrade sound like release-upgrade but I not) What do you mean? -- "Not all updates can be installed" dialog is confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
