Testing with the current release of software-center, 1.1.23, the result when executing the steps in the description above has changed a bit. Specifically, the "Update Now" button is now hidden, but the "To show information about this item, the software catalogue needs updating." message still remains. So, the issue with pressing "Update Now" is no longer relevant, however, the user is still faced with a somewhat perplexing experience since it's not obvious what should be done.
Note, however, that after navigating back to the "Fonts" list view the "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" package is no longer included in the list, and so the details page for "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" is no longer reachable via the UI from that point. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot showing "Update Now" button is no longer visible in version 1.1.23" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43280948/Screenshot-Ubuntu%20Software%20Center.png ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu Lucid) Milestone: None => ubuntu-10.04 -- Still says "software catalogue needs updating" after updating it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542892 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
