[ubuntu-dev] Bug#827605: gdebi-core

[Gerry Callaghan]

Package: gdebi-core
version: 0.9.5.7ubuntu1

1. We have repetition in the title bar and the first line.
   For example, the title bar reads “Package Installer – viber”
   and then the first line reads “Package: viber”.
   There is no need for the second instance.

2. The wrapping of the text between “Status” and “Details” seems
unnecessary. I’m not sure that is the correct word “Status:” when we follow
it with “Requires the installation of 1 packages”. Surely, it should say
“Dependencies” and should be followed by “Requires the installation of 1
package(s).

3. Instead of Details, perhaps call it “Prerequisites” – because Details is
already used as a heading between Description and Included Files.

4.  The area for "Description tab" correctly uses the full width of the
dialogue box, but the “Included files” tab seems to have a horizontal
scroll bar too far left.

5. Save, Cancel, Continue etc are usually visible in the bottom right of
dialogue boxes, should the phrase “Install Package” not be in the bottom
right for consistency? I think this would be more appropriate given that
the green bar used as the installation indicator appears in the bottom left.

6. Upon clicking “Install Package”, a new dialogue box opens asking for
Administrative rights. I’m not sure the sentence reads correctly, “It is a
possible security risk to install packages files manually.” Should it not
read, “There are possible security risks when installing package files
manually.”

7. The next sentence reads “Install software from trustworthy software
distributors only”. To be consistent in terminology with the previous line,
should it not read “Install package files from trustworthy software
distributors only”

Thanks for your time
