Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debconf
Upgrading linux-image while removing existing one will result in
stupid/confusing dialog box (attached a file)
Lets go over it one by one:
- I upgrade the kernel, new kernel is already downloaded and waiting on the
disk for the install
- there are 3 buttons to chose from "cancel", "back", "forward", and one check
box "do you want to remove", WTF? is user supposed to be psychic? I am a
developer/coder/IT support guy and it took me 3 tries to figure out what its
all about and how to just say "YES, remove god dammit"
- help makes it even more confusing, it tells you about "Yes" and "No" options,
there are no such options, it tells you about boot loader configuration while
its automagic when installing new kernel, it doesn't know we already downloaded
new kernel and will install it in a second
- all this could be solved by simply reordering the actions, install new kernel
first, then remove the old one.
** Affects: debconf (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
