So the real problem is that resuming a download either doesn't, or seems like it doesn't, check for a newer version and download that instead?
If the problem is that it really doesn't, that's a bug in the code. If the problem is that it doesn't seem to, that's fixed by the current design where there is never a "Resume" button. Choosing "Download" or "Update" should resume the existing download if that download happens to be the latest version. Specification updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates?action=diff&rev2=182&rev1=181> ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned) ** Summary changed: - No way to cancel an update once you start + "Resume" suggests that downloads are never cancelled ** Description changed: - Once a download is begun, there is no cancel update opportunity. - For example, if the download is too large, or someone just alerted you to an issue with the new version. + Currently if you pause, then force-quit the app, when you return it + tells you the download failed and offers a chance to retry. - Along with pausing the download, should also be a way to cancel - completely. These may amount to the same thing in the end if you stop - the settings app. Currently if you pause, then stop the app, when you - return it tells you the download failed and offer a chance to retry. + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#pausing-mobile>: "If you choose + 'Pause' during a download or an app installation, the update should + pause and return to its idle presentation (bug 1316933) ...
