Public bug reported:
I like using Synaptic, as it allows for a combination of tasks, such as
select several packages to be installed, select leftovers to be removed,
select update… This is why I always install Synaptic on my computers.
I have noticed this bug for a while now, in previous editions of Ubuntu
as well, but I just used a turn around : either close Synaptic and
restart it, or just click to "Apply" a second time.
This is what I want to report now:
The steps:
For example, select some packages, change your mind, deselect them, select
other packages.
This is the error message:
E: Impossible de corriger les problèmes, des paquets défectueux sont en mode «
garder en l'état ».
E: Impossible de verrouiller le répertoire de téléchargement
(approximate translation,
E: Unable to correct problems, bad packets are in "keep as is" mode.
E: Unable to lock download directory)
But, if I wait for Synaptic to reload itself, then click again to Apply,
the message does not appear anymore, and then it works.
Sometimes, I had not even deselected formerly selected packages for this
to happen. However, the above turn around seems to work each time.
However, for other users this might be a message they get stuck on.
Could this be debugged further, and fixed? How to debug it further?
Thanks,
Mélodie
