Public bug reported:
(Note: Any info in attached files here refers to a fresh install, not
the one reported here, which was an attempted upgrade from Oneiric.)
During install:
I exited all programs but neglected to turn off x-screensaver. My fault.
So the install routine, while configuring libc6, opened a window that
said:
-----------------------------------
x-screensaver and x-lockmore must be restarted before upgrading. One or
more instances of xscreensaver or xlockmore have been detected on this
system. Because of incompatible library
<ok>
-----------------------------------
But no response seemed possible. Neither "escape" nor clicking on "ok"
had any result.
Expected behavior: Either a way to take action should be made clearly
apparent, or the user should be told, in effect, "Sorry, nothing you can
do. Start over."
(Also: Perhaps, to protect the installation process from dummies, the
user should be warned in advance to turn off all screensaver programs.)
