Good idea to use a timeout. Could be implemented on the aptdaemon/gtk3widgets level.
Sometimes a background task could block your transaction (e.g. fetching the latest updates) - those background tasks use an apt-get based cron job. We could detect if it is part of the cron job or if the apt-get command runs in a terminal. Furthermore we could hardcode nice names for apt-get, aptitude and dpkg. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668846 Title: No obvious error when Software Centre can't install due to Synaptic being open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/668846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
