Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

When you interrupt the update, then you don't can resume the update.
For exemple stops electricity while updates, then when you turn no longer able to do the upgrade.
another example accidentally breaks the update process, then no longer able to resume (so automatic and easy, like so many other systems type Mac Os).

i know that is possible to resume, but is not easy for beginner as in other system.

Thanks

Thanks for your bugreport.

when regular updates get interrupted with ubuntu 8.04 then update-manager should be able to repair this by showing a icon in the gnome-panel. The same for release-upgrades, however this is of course tricky if there is no X working anymore :/

Bug 900884 has been marked as duplicate of this one, but let's NOT confuse two very different issues:

ONE THING is you try to upgrade, something goes wrong, and you decide not to retry immediately. Later, you should be able to resume the process. I think this is what was addressed in this report

ANOTHER THING is you try to upgrade, and you hit some very temporary error such as a network failure while downloading packages: in this case, the upgrade tool just gives an error message and exit. Instead, it should give an option to retry, without restarting from scratch. I mean like when you are copying a bunch of files and one fails: you are always given the option to retry or skip. Here skipping doesn't make sense, but retrying does. THIS is what 900884 was about.

I'm talking about a release upgrade (it's not clear if this was the case for the original report).

By the way, importance "wishlist" is ridiculous. Having to abort a procedure just because of a minor temporary failure like a network failure is unacceptable.
