I think the "Do you want to upgrade?" dialog box covers this as it includes details about packages to "Install", "Remove", and "Upgrade".
** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Summary changed: - do-release-upgrade doesn't how which files are currently downloaded and will be downloaded + do-release-upgrade doesn't show which files are currently downloaded and will be downloaded ** Description changed: Rather than forcing the user to review the list of pages to be updated and downloaded for a release upgrade (very few people will review the list and a lot will simply proceed) it be nice to show this list during the download of packages (both already downloaded and to be downloaded packages) with their size. This allows the user to view the list during the time consuming download and eventually abort the release upgrade if she_he spots some large unnecessary downloads. - Image you are getting impatient for the download to finish and check + Imagine you are getting impatient for the download to finish and check what's taking so long and then spot all these `texlive` packages, but only installed it to test if you like LaTeX and never bothered to remove it. Then it'd be nice to abort the release upgrade, remove texlive and restart it (where downloads would be resumed due to `apt-get`'s capabilities of reusing and resuming downloads from cache). - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 + ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:15.04.14.3 Uname: Linux 4.2.2-040202-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.6 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu Date: Fri Oct 23 11:13:43 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-09-14 (38 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Release amd64 (20150422) MarkForUpload: True - PackageArchitecture: all - SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader + PackageArchitecture: allSourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader SystemImageInfo: - current build number: 0 - device name: - channel: daily - last update: Unknown + current build number: 0 + device name: + channel: daily + last update: Unknown UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to vivid on 2015-10-23 (0 days ago) VarLogDistupgradeTermlog: ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509275 Title: do-release-upgrade doesn't show which files are currently downloaded and will be downloaded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1509275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
