[Bug 1658323] [NEW] mutiple error messages did not staw on screen last one was data could not be downloaded

Sat Jan 21 14:05:49 UTC 2017

Public bug reported:

oops - in the title "STAW" should have been "STAY" - so much for my typing skills.
---

I receive an error message that instructed me to re-run "Package
Updater"

I did as instructed and received a number of additional messages in a
new window that was framed on the top in RED. The window did not stay
open long enough for me to read it, let alone be able to copy it.

a new window was then displayed with the following message:

===========================================
Failure to download extra data files

The following packages requested additional data downloads after package
installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be
processed.

ttf-mscorefonts-installer

The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now.  Running this command requires an active Internet connection.
===========================================

I have no idea what package requested "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" but
I'm willing to guess that it probably was "wine 2.0 rc-6"  from the
gnome 3.20 repository.

I opened this problem against APPORT, because the error messages that
were displayed after starting "package update" do not stay on the screen
long enough to be read, and frequently are displayed in boxes that can
not be copied or pasted into bug reports.

hopefully, somebody more knowledgable than I, can re-route this bug
report to a "more correct" area.
