Public bug reported:
Xubuntu 8.04: Sometimes when downloading new packages via Synaptic the
Apply will start downloading packages. This typically freezes,
sometimes halfway through. If you press cancel, after 'some reasonable
amount of time' the manager continues (having actually downloaded the
files) and unpacks and installs.
Seems to have happened about 3/5 times installing over 30 packages from
the Xubuntu 8.04 baseline.
I noticed tonight that this freeze can also happen when its building its
dependency tree. I dont know if it is the manager's fault or it is
waiting for some Xubuntu server. Moving the manager window or
disturbing it seems to unfreeze it so it feels like it is the
application itself that is faulty. Never seen on Ubuntu 7.10.
