** Bug 56152 has been marked a duplicate of this bug

** Description changed:

- Distribution: current Edgy
+ We don't know what went wrong if gksu fails. Either the password dialog
+ itself failed by provind a wrong password or synaptic could not apply
+ the changes:
  
- gnome-app-install will forget which packages were marked for
- installation if it can't get some of the files, making it hard to retry
- getting those files.
- 
- Steps to reproduce:
- 
- - Spend some time searching the magical candy shop that is gnome-app-install 
for software you want to have and mark them for installation
- - Click apply, packages will start to download
- - Lose network connection (e.g. unreliable wireless)
- - g-a-i will ask you whether you want to install the packages already 
downloaded. Select no, wanting to retry the download after moving within the 
wireless' range again.
- - g-a-i will re-initialize, all packages marked for installarion will be 
lost, forcing you to go through the whole list again.
- 
- Expected result: the packages remain marked for installation, as in
- synaptic when the same happens.
+ - failed download
+ - failed installation/partially installed (returns true)
+ - falied lock
