I think this bug and 429879, 489486 and 496741 are related. They are all about the dialog about having to install third party data. The latter two (48.. and 49..) are, I believe, related to the way this message is represented to the user, the user panicing and "pressing" the wrong button. This bug is about the same dialog but you (seem) to think "Okay, I know. Shut up now" and "Forward" does not seem like the correct thing to do, although in Debian the "Forward" is just an "Ok" button. The "Ok" button means, conceptually, that it's just a notification of something instead of some error.
Bug 42.. is the same message, but the reporter thinks that the information is not important for the user. Basically saying that it should not be shown. However, looking more closely he mentions an "installation error" caused by the message, which is exactly what 48.. and 49.. are about. Finally this report's "error message" is the same as the 49.. error message. I have no idea about Launchpad/Ubuntu's way of handling with this, but I would consider closing three of the four bugs now because they are caused by the same thing; only the manifestations of the bug are different. Actually, I would say that 48.., 49.. and this bug are more a bug in Ubuntu's way of representing the debconf message than a bug in the packaging; it's Ubuntu that diverged from the way it's represented in Debian. I seem to remember that in some previous versions of Ubuntu (I've just tried Ubuntu's nightly CD image) you could close/quit/cancel the debconf dialog, but in Lucid you can not anymore. This would mean the 48.. and 49.. are basically "fixed" in Lucid, unless you forcefully kill the debconf dialog. The package currently in Debian unstable solves the issue, but given the 'freeze' state Ubuntu is in now it's very very unlikely that they're going to merge that. Especially because it is being 'forced' not to go into testing and that it's not a stable release of OpenTTD. I think that ripping out the debconf message is fairly trivial. However, I wonder what the chances are that such a change gets included at this moment in the release cycle. -- I can't close/cancel/quit/exit the "README.debian" dialogue, the only option is forward but i don't want to go forward i just want to quit! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530046 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
