[Bug 761094] Re: "Download updates while installing" checkbox does nothing

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

The checkbox does exactly what it says on the tin:
"Download updates while installing"

Whilst your installation is performed, updates are downloaded in the background.
Those updates are not installed, but instead available to install once you boot into final system.

Title:
  "Download updates while installing" checkbox does nothing

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Natty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  ## Description ##

  During first steps of installing, ubiquity provides a "Download
  updates while installing" checkbox. I don't know what this option was
  supposed to do (simply download updated .deb files in apt cache or
  automatically install those files too), but restarting the system
  after a fresh installation neither package updates were applied, nor
  .deb files were downloaded and cached.

  Simply, Update Manager shows X packages to update, and clicking the
  Update button it downloads and installs them.

  So I suppose
   a) checkbox label is wrong (should be "Check for updates while installing")
   b) download (and apply) updates feature doesn't work

  ## Steps to Reproduce ##

   -- perform a fresh install (for instance a new virtual machine)
   -- check "Download updates while installing" 
   --  reboot the system
   -- launch Update Manager

  ## Current Result ##

  N updates are available to install, if you choose to apply, all
  packages will downoaded

  ## Expected Result ##

  Updates should automatically downloaded or applied during operating
  system installation
