I've now specified an action bar for the "Progress" section, which would
let you cancel all tasks that are safe to cancel.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#cancel-bar> Anyone is welcome to
implement it.
Meanwhile, thanks for the report, but I'm marking this Invalid for five
reasons. First, it has always been possible to close USC, so "cannot
close software center" is not accurate. Second, USC is not the process
that installs or removes software, whether it is open or closed, so "the
process is running" is not accurate. Third, USC is not the only way to
install or remove software, so "no locked files (APT)" is not something
USC could ever reasonably achieve. Fourth, showing a confirmation alert
is a clue that the design is mistaken, so we shouldn't change the design
such that one would be necessary. And fifth, while it is not currently
possible to pause tasks, it is possible to cancel them even after USC
has closed, by reopening it and going to the "Progress" section.
** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
