Bug Description

To note this bug:

1: Select update / install any package
2: The initially when the download begins the dialogue is "Download rate: XX Kb/s - X secs remaining"
3: After the timer counts down to 1 sec , the the next dialogue is " Download rate: unknown "
 This makes no sense.

Even though this flashes for a few secs , this last dialogue should read " Almost done " or anything likewise.

This is also the same behavior in Karmic as of the latest update.

David Siegel , no , synaptic by karmic+1 , and update manager probably by karmic+2.

Software Store is replacing only Add/Remove for Karmic. [mpt , if i'm mistaken , pls invalidate this papercut.]

I propose we change the text from the current "Download rate: unknown" to "Waiting". Attached is a patch to this effect, however I'm not sure how to go about updating the .pot & *.po translation files.

@Luke Symes :

"Download rate: Waiting" would not make sense.

Why not just leave them as "..." or "---" ? no need translating for these ;)

True, "..." could work well. But in the previous patch I didn't have "Download rate: waiting", it was *just* "Waiting". Perhaps that would be too jarring in the dialog to see "Download rate: #KB/s" change suddenly to "Waiting". Added a patch that uses your suggestion.

I merged this into "lp:~mvo/synaptic/ubuntu-ui-changes" as its a string change and we require a UI freeze exception for this. This branch is meant to accumulate the UI changes so that we can just send one exception request out.
