Public bug reported:
This is a "usability bug" report, i.e. an enhancement request to make
upgrading more user-friendly.
All user interaction should be done before processing. The user should
be able to quickly step through any prompts or input collection, then go
home and come back the next day to a completed upgrade. There should be
no stops in the middle of the night to ask for further input or
permissions.
Currently that is not happening.
After clicking UPGRADE to the initial offer, the upgrade tool is
downloaded, and it again asks for permission. After assenting, some
long time later (maybe after downloading more, I'm not sure) it asks you
if you REALLY want to upgrade. Then, a very long time after giving
that assent, there a mysterious dialog appears saying that Flash will be
downloaded (not asking mind you, just informing). But the computer
doesn't do anything until you click "Next".
Suggested solution: Make *all* tools used by the upgrade process support
a "--yes" or similar option to avoid asking the user for further
permissions. And use that.
