Bug Description

The latest updates to karmic (Oct 2) required a restart. There was also a dialogue window about whether to delete 5 (6?) obsolete files. The "restart required" flashed up a moment after the "delete?" window and covered it. I chose "restart later" which allowed me to get at the confirmation delete the obsolete files.

I don't know whether just hitting "restart" would have caused problems. If yes, then that sequence needs cleaning up before the next batch of updates requiring a restart.

(Karmic looks beautiful, fast, and stable, by the way! :D )

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in update-manager.

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

PS: I'm curious, the description indicates that you filed this bug against update-manager but the bug still wasn't assigned to the update-manager package. Did you change the "In what package did you find this bug? " Information on the bug reporting form or was it set to 'I don't know' from the beginning?

affects: ubuntu → update-manager (Ubuntu)

It's been so long, I don't remember for sure, but I suspect it was set to "I don't know" and I didn't notice that and change it.

I haven't had this issue with any recent karmic updates that require a restart, so even if the problem hasn't been solved, it's gone away. Either way is good! :D
