Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
I often select multiple packages for installation, as it is generally
faster. However if one of the selected packages has a conflict, the
entire selection is lost. It would be nice if after the conflict is
noted, I could return to the list with the same things selected - I
suppose excepting or marking the conflicting ones.
An alternative would be to have another panel in the window, where the
installation checks are performed in parallel while I continue to click
additional packages. Then if a conflict occurs, these would stand out.
Actually the additional panel would not be necessary, just run the check
asynchronously and have a 'warning' icon in addition to the other
checkbox icons, and a small panel that says, "Conflict(s) found for
package(s) foo, bar, blah"
Ubuntu version 8.04 development branch
Thanks!
