Bug ID: 364422
Summary: size estimate off
Product: Discover
Version: 5.6.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PackageKit
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: sit...@kde.org
So. I am on neon and I want to install libreoffice impress. So I search for
libreoffice which sure enough turns up impress. It also has a handy box telling
me the size of impress, which is 900kb. So that's awesome.
BUT
That's only the size of the actual package containing the impress appdata! This
does not include the dependencies that would be dragged in. And those are
substantial...
Upon attempting to install it via apt:
> Need to get 60,1 MB of archives.
> After this operation, 221 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. don't have libreoffice installed
2. look for libreoffice in discover
3.
Actual Results:
Estimate has a 6000% margin of error
Expected Results:
Estimate should have a margin of error less than 100%
Ideally I'd imagine that the dependencies need to be taking into account for
starters.
(there's also a problem due to the async transaction nature of discover where a
user could install impress and then while that is happening also considers
installing writer, which would now still show 60mib footprint although its
footprint effectively would be 2mib once the impress transaction finishes, not
sure that is worth considering for now though)
