[Bug 49126] Re: Wishlist items for major release upgrades

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

The remaining three suggestions should be split into their own bug
reports too, so they can be tracked and resolved separately.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: update-manager
- 
  Some thoughts that occured during the upgrade process from Breezy to
  Dapper.
  
  1. When errors occur, offer a "Retry" option.
-  Example: If there isn't enough disk space, offer "Retry" as an option so the user can fix the issue and then retry, rather than back out everything and starting all over again.

  2. In the upgrading dialogue, break "Downloading and installing the upgrades" into "Downloading the upgrades" and "Installing the upgrades".
  3. In the upgrading dialogue, offer a tickbox to prompt before proceeding with the install after downloading. Remember to advise people to close programs before actually installing (as done earlier).
- 4. In the upgrading dialogue, offer a button to "Pause" downloading of files.
