Public bug reported:
Updating the system with help of the update notifier does not follow a
consistent work flow. For a normal user it should work as follows:
- a notification appears,
- he clicks on the symbol and chooses 'install all updates',
- the updates process starts (possibly asking for authentication).
Now consider we have some 'normal' updates and some which require
authentication:
- notification appears,
- he clicks on 'install all updates',
- the updates process starts (and installs all 'normal' updates),
- a notification appears again,
- he clicks on 'install all updates', nothing happens and
- the notification keeps notifying.
To really install all updates, he has to choose 'show updates' and in
the appearing window 'Install now'. All very confusing.
I see this (mis)behavior in Xubuntus 12.04 and 12.10 desktop
installation (update-notifier 0.119ubuntu8.5 and 0.126 ).
