apport information ** Attachment added: "ProcEnviron.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68985/+attachment/5166400/+files/ProcEnviron.txt
** Description changed: synaptic 0.57.8, Ubuntu Edgy synaptic 0.80.2, Ubuntu 13.10 + synaptic 0.84.3ubuntu1, Ubuntu 18.04 1. At a terminal, "sudo apt-get install 4g8 && sudo dpkg -r --force-depends libnet1" 2. Launch Synaptic. 3. Click "Close". 4. Click "Status", then "Broken dependencies". 5. Select "4g8", then "Properties", then "Dependencies". What happens: 2. An alert appears: "You have 1 broken package on your system! Use the 'Broken' filter to locate it." https://launchpadlibrarian.net/158600432/68985-synaptic-1.png 5. Nowhere does Synaptic say what is broken about the package -- neither in the Properties window, nor anywhere else. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/158600481/68985-synaptic-2.png What should happen: 2. Either the alert offers to take you directly to the "Broken dependencies" screen ("This system has 1 broken package. Would you like to review it now? ( Cancel ) ( Broken Packages… )"), or the alert does not exist and the main window instead invites you to go there in one click (perhaps using an InfoBar). 5. The "Properties" window for the broken package, at least, specifies exactly what is broken (for example, "Dependency libnet1 is not installed"). - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-11-21 (243 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) Package: synaptic 0.84.3ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-22.24-generic 4.15.17 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-22-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68985 Title: Synaptic doesn't say what's Broken about a package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/68985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
