Description Andreas Gruenbacher 2006-03-10 21:06:04 UTC

The Installation Summary view in the package manager is not always up to date, and is not updated even after doing a manual dependency check. It always seems to be up to date when turning Autocheck on.

I think that when before switching to Installation Summary and Autocheck is not selected, a manual check should be performed. I'm not sure if the conflict resolution should be performed in this case as well; probably not.

Without up-to-date dependencies, the Installation Summary view can be pretty misleading.

The fact that while in the Installation Summary view, packages are still listed after their state has changed so that they would no longer show up in this view could be considered a feature. The view should always show additional packages that become selected though (e.g., after performing a manual check).

No. Switching to a filter view may not change any object's state. This is contrary to the idea of views. And for sure you don't want to be confronted with dependency problems when you switch views. Switching views means you continue to work on your package selection. You don't want anybody, much less an automatism like a solver run, interfere with your actions. If you want a resolver run upon every mouse click, you can switch "auto check" on. This is why we have that check box.
