directhexhm. is it appropriate to mention DDs i've worked with in an ubuntu context in my reply to the NM front desk? e.g calc & slangasek?00:08
slangasekcalc: where do we stand at this point as far as getting all the OOo bits onto the CD that we think should be there?  We have a fair amount of wiggle room now thanks to some aggressive pruning campaigns; I've been shoving said wiggle room full of langpacks because if nothing else it makes a good early warning system, but if there are OOo bits that are missing then those should take precedence over trying to get a maximal langpack set00:09
slangasekdirecthex: off-topic?  but I don't think the front desk cares about that so much as about making sure you have a DD advocate prior to assigning you an AM00:10
directhexdamnit, i lost track of what i was planning to do tonight. i think i'll just go to bed00:15

J-_I'm not sure if it's been fixed, but in Hardy. I've downloaded some packages from synaptic. Now the package manager is removing software that I've told it to. BUT, it states it's Installing and Removing, though, it's removing first. Has Jaunty changed issue? It's quite cosmetic, but, the action queue/ title doesn't make sense. It should be 'Removing and Installing Software'.10:49
Hobbseeis there a bug filed for this?10:50
* Hobbsee notes that means a whole lot of extra string changes, too10:51
J-_I'm not entirely sure. That's why I'm asking if it's the same in Jaunty.10:51
J-_:)10:51
StevenKDownload a live CD and check?10:51
J-_I'm still using Hardy.10:52
StevenKHow is that related?10:52
cjwatsonJ-_: (I don't work on synaptic myself, but) my inclination would be to say that while your comment is pedantically correct, "Removing and Installing Software" would tend to give prominence to the "Removing" bit, which I think might be surprising to others10:53
directhexit can't change in hardy can it? the string changes would mean doom for all concerned10:53
cjwatsonif it were me, I'd probably say "Applying Changes" or some such, but maybe that was felt to be too vague ...10:53
StevenK"Frobbnicating package changes"10:53
cjwatsonit certainly can't change in hardy, no, but J-_ didn't ask for that10:53
HobbseeFrobbnicating++10:54
cjwatsonit appears to still be "Installing and removing software"10:54
cjwatsonat least judging from the translation files10:54
cjwatsonJ-_: BTW, synaptic does not uniformly remove everything first10:55
cjwatsonJ-_: it may happen to in your case, but it's entirely possible for removals to be interspersed10:55
J-_Ah I see. It appeared to me it looked like it was removing everything first. Well, downloading, removing, installing/ configuring.10:56
cjwatsonJ-_: particularly if they interact with the packages to be installed in any non-trivial way (e.g. some installed package used to depend on a package that's to be removed, and needs to be upgraded first to a version that doesn't have the dependency)10:56
StevenKcjwatson: It's non-deterministic, right? Since the entire list is just fed to dpkg?10:56
cjwatsonStevenK: firstly, that wouldn't make it non-deterministic; secondly, apt does its own ordering typically invokes dpkg several times10:56
cjwatsons/ordering/ordering and/10:56
* StevenK grumbles at his tired brain10:57
cjwatsonalthough some of the ordering is done by dpkg: it'll feed a big pile of packages to unpack to dpkg when apt decides it doesn't need to care about the order, and dpkg will use whatever order suits it10:57
cjwatsonlikewise for configuration10:57
cjwatsonbut you can't really do "unpack lots of packages, then configure lots of [potentially different] packages" in a single pass with dpkg10:58
cjwatsonand Pre-Depends tend to partition the set10:58
cjwatsonJ-_: ... so basically, it's complicated and it's better to regard "Installing and Removing" as a simple conjunction rather than implying ordering :-)10:59
J-_But, I'll leave it at that, and since it's out there, it'll either be changed, or won't be. :) (Sorry if I created some sort of retarded argument) Just wanted to see what had to be said, and see if anyone else took notice.10:59
J-_It works though, quite well and, thanks.11:00
