[Bug 1105371] Re: [SRU] Orca is skipping key details of the updates list

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Hello Dylan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into noble-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:24.04.12 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  [SRU] Orca is skipping key details of the updates list

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Orca, the screen reader, correctly reads the name of each update in
  update-manager's list, but it never reads the toggle cell in the
  Install column. This means a vision-impaired user has no way of
  knowing which updates are selected and which are not.

  It also does not announce the update message while update-manager is
  checking for updates.

  [Test plan]

  *Unmute your speakers.
  *If apt list --upgradable is empty, downgrade any package.
  *Start orca.
  *Start update-manager.

  In the initial state of the window, it's checking for new updates.
  Verify that the screen reader announces that fact as "checking for
  updates".

  Once it is done, the list of packages that can be upgraded is
  displayed. Verify that the lines are spoken by the screen reader as
  you focus them (either with the keyboard or with the mouse), as well
  as their selection state. I.e., if the check-box corresponding to a
  package is checked, the screen reader should say "selected" for that
  package, and if unchecked, it should say "unselected".

  [What could go wrong]

  Screen reading capabilities of other elements of update-manager could
  be negatively impacted.
