I am changing the Package from synaptic to vnc4, since the bug is fixed
by using an upgrade of vnc4-server and vnc4-common.
Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since
this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work,
I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
** Changed in: vnc4 (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: synaptic => vnc4
Importance: Undecided => Medium
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Description changed:
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.
+
+ WORKAROUND:
+ This is no longer an issue with the recompiled edition of vncserver as per:
