Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
I'm reporting this because my dad had to call me to come to his office
at the university to do this for him!
When installing sun-java6-plugin via synaptic, a dialog will pop and ask
for the user's approval for the "terms of use"! There's that button
"Next" which is NOT disabled when the check-box/radio-button is not
selected! If the user continues without realizing that there was a
necessary thing to be checked, the installation would go on without any
notification until an error occurs! Doesn't get installed, should
happed! But it doesn't tell where was the problem!
I think telling that the user should choose "I agree" or "You have not
agreed to the $blablabla" or any other hint would be much better, much
more suitable for all kinds of people!
I think it's worth it if it's gonna save at least one other person for
going to a certain destination just to check a box!
Thanks,
AnxiousNut
