[Bug 744541] Re: after-upgrade obsolete software removal: Fetching and installing the upgrade can take several hours....

[MMlosh]

Thanks for response anyway. 
Maybe the status could be fixed. I am not sure.
Calling xrandr repeatedly even on VT was the main issue spotted on natty->oneiric conversion,  launchpad bug #883618
Two extra lines is tolerable.. one extra line every few minutes is..  a nightmare

Title:
  after-upgrade obsolete software removal: Fetching and installing the
  upgrade can take several hours....

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager-core

  when updating from maverick to natty, after the upgrade completes and
  obsolete sofware is being detected, this shows up:

  YYY packages are going to be removed.

  Fetching and installing the upgrade can take several hours. Once the
  download has finished, the process cannot be cancelled.

   Continue [yN]  Details [d]

  
  I find this message rather confusing.  Nobody is going to download, install and upgrade anything.
  The messages makes no sense.
