Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
I am upgrading to lucid (alpha): update-manager -d.
0) It is not posssible to mark, cut and paste text form the
"Distribution Upgrade" dialogue box (to paste it to a bug report
without typo mistakes).
1) Phase "Setting new software channels" took some minutes but the
"Terminal" arrow in bottom was disabled so the user did not know what
was going on. There should be a possibility to view details, e.g.
"backuping /etc/apt/sources.list", "replacing 'karmic' for 'lucid' in
/etc/apt/sources.list", etc.
2) Phase "Getting new packages" has the "Terminal" arrow also disabled!
There should be possibility to view which package is just downloaded.
There should also be a possibility to save (complete) list of needed
packages (or to generate a wget script) for download them on a computer
with higher download sped. There should also be an easy possibility
(e.g. button) to let the update-manager use such downloaded packages on
usb stick, cd/dvd-rom, (un)mounted iso image.
3) The update manager should ask for an occasional alternative source
than the Internet such as usb stick, cd/dvd-rom, (un)mounted iso image
with packages so the user must not burn the downloaded image or to mount
the image and mainly search for how to run the upgrade from the mounted
image (cdromupgrade). There should be also a command line option for
using local stored packages/images (like --scan in jigdo-lite).
4) The cdromupgrade should ask about to download packages from the
Internet and do a (partial) upgrade in case of negative answer. It asks
for newest packages but still downloads other packages from the Internet
when negative answer.
5) There is a problem with "incompatible stripping characters" in
cdromupgrade:
