** Description changed:
- If sessioninstaller can not find a given pkg its currently doing nothing.
This is not ideal as the user is in the dark about
- what has happend.
+
+ To show the human readable name/description and information about possible
restrictions in use (patents or copyright) of to be installed packages by the
InstallPackageNames method, session-installer needs to handle the case if the
packages aren't available at all.
+
+ Currently in the case of not availabe packages session-installer blindly
+ calls aptdaemon and the user gets an aptdaemon message about a failed
+ installation.
+
+ The InstallPackageNames method is called by e.g. brasero to install cd
+ burning tools.
Therefore I would like to ask for a string freeze exception for
sessioninstaller that adds following error message(s):
...
+ header = gettext.ngettext("Could not find requested package",
+ "Could not find requested packages",
+ len(failed_packages))
+ if sender_name:
+ message = gettext.ngettext("%s requests to install the "
+ "following software package to "
+ "provide "
+ "additional features:",
+ "%s requests to install the "
+ "following "
+ "software packages to provide "
+ "additional features:",
+ len(packages)) % sender_name
+ else:
+ message = gettext.ngettext("The follwing software package "
+ "is required to provide "
+ "additional features but cannot "
+ "be installed:",
+ "The following software "
+ "packages are required to "
+ "provide "
+ "additional features but cannot "
+ "be installed:",
+ len(failed_packages))
...
Thanks!
