Title:
Inconsistent package state error message is misleading
Status in Aptdaemon:
Confirmed
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18, Ubuntu Maverick
Ubuntu Software Center 5.4.1.2, Ubuntu 12.10
Based on test case
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwarePackageOperations#broken>:
1. sudo apt-get install 4g8 && sudo dpkg --force-depends -r libnet1
2. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.
(When finished testing, reset if necessary with "sudo apt-get remove
4g8 libnet1".)
What happens: An alert appears, "Items cannot be installed or removed
until the package catalog is repaired. Do you want to repair it now?"
"Once Update Manager has finished the repairs, you can close it and
return to the store." (Or in later versions, "the Software Center"
[sic]).
What should happen: "If software can’t be installed because existing
software has broken or unsatisfied dependencies, a confirmation alert
should appear. It should have primary text 'New software can’t be
installed, because there is a problem with the software currently
installed. Do you want to repair this problem now?'"
