Public bug reported:
The following situation shall be given:
The Ubuntu software-updates dialog is waiting for the user to start the
upgrade-process but the user does not take notice of the dialog.
Problem:
The user downloads a 3rd-party software package (like e.g. google-earth) from
the web and chooses to open the package using the software-center from within
the webbrowser - which is the default action in firefox - the software-center
will present the user with the "Install" button. Upon clicking the button the
installation seems to start but silently fails without giving any error or
reason to the user. In fact, the software-updates dialog is blocking the
package-manager.
However, a normal user shouldn't need to know or even care about this. A simple
message like "Please install the pending updates first" would solve the problem.
Ubuntu version: 13.04 Desktop
