[Bug 518866] Re: Confirm dialog is confusing and too technical

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Michael, is this about the dialog when upgrading from one Ubuntu version
to the next? I've redesigned that dialog to summarize the download size
and duration, the new Ubuntu version, any removed applications, and the
extra disk space required.

Title:
  Confirm dialog is confusing and too technical

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “update-manager” source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  The current confirmation dialog is too technical and contains too much
  information. A lot of the package the user will not know about. We
  need to discuss how to make it more useful.

  Ideas:
   - show nothing at all
   - show nothing before and a summary after the upgrade
   - only show applications
   - only show applications and stuff that is not in the default install
