** Description changed:
- I'm not really sure whether this is a bug; I think the install was
- hanging for a while, with a blank window displaying. I killed the
- install and it went away, but it's certainly plausible that this is due
- to something local, not a bug. Feel free to close this if nobody else is
- seeing it.
+ [Impact]
+ update-manager is missing a recommends on libgtk2-perl which allows it to
display debconf prompts. While we've fixed software-properties-gtk and
gnome-software to depend / recommend libgk2-perl and this will resolve the
issue for most installations it'd be best to fix update-manager too for all
releases in case there is some installation situation where libgtk2-perl is
missing.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) Uninstall libgtk2-perl - 'sudo apt-get remove libgtk2-perl'
+ 2) Launch update-manager from a terminal
+ 3) Observe the following message in the terminal:
+
+ debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
+ debconf: (Can't locate Gtk2.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Gtk2
module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1
/usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24
/usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 91.)
+ debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None - no really! We are just adding a recommends on another package.
