That looks like a hack. The bug should be reopened and here it is why(this are actually 2 bugs in 1 report):
I tried to install an application, the connection to the internet was lost for about 1 second(it reconnected very fast) but the installation of the software stopped and didn't want to go any further just because of a simple spike in the connection. I had 2 applications to install, the second one was on wait so I stopped the first one so the second one could install. The second one started to install(good) but the icon of the first one which got canceled remained on the launcher(bad) and when I tried to click on it, it was doing nothing(because the application did not install). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972710 Title: Cancel an installation (deny to give the password) keep application's icon in the launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/972710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
