** Description changed: Binary package hint: update-manager Ubuntu Gutsy As I write this, Update Manager is downloading package files. What I see, in the space of about 30 seconds: * "2h4m54s remaining" * "2h4m52s remaining" * "2h25m1s remaining" * "2h24m58s remaining" * "2h37m40s remaining" * "2h37m38s remaining" * "4h36m8s remaining" * "4h9m33s remaining" So Update Manager apparently doesn't know the time remaining nearly as precisely as it is pretending to. What I should see: * "about 2 hours remaining" * "about 2 hours remaining" * "about 2 hours remaining" * "about 2 hours remaining" * "about 3 hours remaining" * "about 3 hours remaining" * "about 5 hours remaining" - * "about 5 hours remaining" + * "about 4 hours remaining" Perhaps follow a pattern something like this: * 0 ≤ estimate < 50 seconds: "about n seconds remaining" * 50 seconds ≤ estimate < 50 minutes: "about n minutes remaining" * 50 minutes ≤ estimate < 23 hours: "about n hours remaining" * 23 hours ≤ estimate: "about n days remaining" See also bug 74884. It may save time to fix this bug at the same time as bug 144455, which is the same problem in a different window with time estimates in a different format. (For consistency, the two windows should present their estimates in the same format. One way of fixing this would be to make them the same window.)
