Right that's because Synaptic was made only for apt/rpm, it opens (and lock) your db and all changes that you do are resolved "instantly", but this blocks automatic updates to take place it can be used by only one user at time, and if it doesn't it could show you not updated values.
PackageKit has to be more general (to work with much more package managing systems), and it's design only allows to verify conflics on the fly, this has to be this way and can't be changed to Synaptics way, otherwise it would block and would bring tons of problems. -- in Kubuntu maverick RC kpackagekit failed to resolve between two packages chromium-codec-ffmpeg and chromium-codec-ffmpeg-extra https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656076 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
