Subject: dpkg: bottom status lines confusing
To: quiet@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 2.93
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.8
Suppose I am looking at the adduser package line.
When paging through the various information types with the `i' key, I get the
following two status lines:
"installed control info for adduser"
"available version of control info for adduser"
First: either of the following wordings are superior to the second line; I
prefer the first below because it is parallel, but it is perhaps harder to
understand anyway:
"available version control info for adduser"
"control info for available version of adduser"
Second: when the installed and available versions of adduser are reported to be
identical in the top half of the dselect window, then I ought to see the same
control info on each of the two bottom panels mentioned. In fact I do not, the
"available version" seems to be a superset with a few more fields.

Wow, this bug is 6 years old...
M. Swift suggested replacing this status line:
available version of control info for adduser
...for clarity's sake, with one of these two:
available version control info for adduser (no "of")
control info for available version of adduser (added an "of" and
reordered.)
Some comments...
If, in 'dselect', I hilite 'adduser' (or any package) the bottom line of
the screen says:
description of adduser -- 52%, press d for more.
...then if I hit the 'i' key, it says:
installed control info for adduser -- 34%, press d for more.
...hit 'i' again, it says:
available version of control info for adduser -- 33%, press d
for more.
Putting all three together may show the ugliness better:
1 description of adduser -- 52%, press d for more.
2 installed control info for adduser -- 34%, press d for more.
3 available version of control info for adduser -- 33%, press d
for more.
Look how the word 'adduser' moves around. In line #1 it's the third
word, in line #2 it's the fifth, in line #3 it's the sixth. Same
information, but moving it around tires the user.
(Even the preposition changes needlessly. Line #1 has "OF adduser",
lines #2-3 have "FOR adduser". Is it "of" or "for"? -- pick one or the
other and be consistent.)
Look how the "%xx, press d for more." moves around too.
Suggestions:
Move the "%xx, press d for more." to one place and keep it there -- such
as the far right of the screen. Note however, that if the user pages
down to the bottom, it says:
description of adduser -- 100%, press u to go back.
Unfortunately the widths don't quite match...
1 press d for more.
2 press u to go back.
Therefore to keep those strings from jumping around the bottom right of
the screen, string #1 should be left-justified so it always matches
string #2. Or both could be combined into one prompt, such as:
press d or u for page up/down
Next there's the text itself, here it is again, without the page up/down
prompts:
1 description of adduser
2 installed control info for adduser
3 available version of control info for adduser
And here's what M. Swift suggested:
description of adduser
installed control info for adduser
available version control info for adduser
Get rid of the string 'adduser', because it's already on the screen
enough. First the user sees 'adduser' on the hi-lit package selection line:
*** Imp base adduser 3.50 3.50 Add and
remove users and
...second, 'adduser' is on the blue seperator line:
adduser installed ; install (was: install). Important
...and third 'adduser' is the first line of the 'info' box, which is
either of these two lines:
adduser - Add and remove users and groups
Package: adduser
That's three 'adduser's -- four is too many. I suggest:
1 Description
2 Control info of installed version
3 Control info of available version
Now in lines #2-3 the text won't jump around.
Furthermore the strings should be slightly indented, so they aren't
flush with the info box text. Example of how the bottom half of the
screen would look...
Before:
---------
adduser installed ; install (was: install). Important
adduser - Add and remove users and groups
This package includes the adduser and deluser commands for creating and
removing users.
o Adduser can create new users and groups and add existing users to
existing groups.
o Deluser can remove users and groups and remove users from a given
group.
description of adduser -- 52%, press d for more.
---------
After:
---------
adduser installed ; install (was: install). Important
adduser - Add and remove users and groups
This package includes the adduser and deluser commands for creating and
removing users.
o Adduser can create new users and groups and add existing users to
existing groups.
o Deluser can remove users and groups and remove users from a given
group.
Description 52%, press d or u for pageup/down
---------
M. Swift's second point was that when the installed and available
versions are the same, their control info should be the same too --
because, he says, the latter is superset of the former.
This is not strictly correct... some of the control info (e.g. "Status:
install ok installed") is not in the available info, and vice versa
(e.g. " MD5sum: 0aef8e730deadce4464d368972fd771b").
It might be better if those screens were less redundant though. Perhaps
when the installed and available versions where the same then the
description should only be on the first screen, and the available info
shouldn't show anything in the control info. That way the difference
would leap right out at the user, rather than requiring the user having
to wade through all that redundant info.
Examples of how the above changes would look:

---------
adduser - Add and remove users and groups

removing users.

Of course the above would be all wrong if the installed and available
versions were different, but that could stay the way it is now. (Alas,
I'm too tired to think of more changes.)
Fatigue aside, hope this helps...

Wow, this bug is 6 years old...
M. Swift suggested replacing this status line:
available version of control info for adduser
...for clarity's sake, with one of these two:
available version control info for adduser (no "of")
control info for available version of adduser (added an "of" and
reordered.)
Some comments...
If, in 'dselect', I hilite 'adduser' (or any package) the bottom line of
the screen says:
description of adduser -- 52%, press d for more.
...then if I hit the 'i' key, it says:
installed control info for adduser -- 34%, press d for more.
...hit 'i' again, it says:
available version of control info for adduser -- 33%, press d
for more.
Putting all three together may show the ugliness better:
1 description of adduser -- 52%, press d for more.
2 installed control info for adduser -- 34%, press d for more.
3 available version of control info for adduser -- 33%, press d
for more.
Look how the word 'adduser' moves around. In line #1 it's the third
word, in line #2 it's the fifth, in line #3 it's the sixth. Same
information, but moving it around tires the user.
(Even the preposition changes needlessly. Line #1 has "OF adduser",
lines #2-3 have "FOR adduser". Is it "of" or "for"? -- pick one or the
other and be consistent.)
Look how the "%xx, press d for more." moves around too.
Suggestions:
Move the "%xx, press d for more." to one place and keep it there -- such
as the far right of the screen. Note however, that if the user pages
down to the bottom, it says:

I believe the attached diff can be used to close a long standing dselect
bug... because some of us do still care. ;-)
The more verbose descriptions (made possible by removing the redundant
pkg->name) and capitalization of "Available" and "Installed" should
result in less confusing status lines.

Well, I'm really sorry as I already called for translation updates to
dselect. So, it's like we're in string freeze also for dselect.
Bad timing, unfortunately....
But closing a 4-digit bug would be nice, indeed..:)

Subject: dpkg: bottom status lines confusing
To: quiet@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 2.93
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.8
Suppose I am looking at the adduser package line.
When paging through the various information types with the `i' key, I get the
following two status lines:
"installed control info for adduser"
"available version of control info for adduser"
First: either of the following wordings are superior to the second line; I
prefer the first below because it is parallel, but it is perhaps harder to
understand anyway:
"available version control info for adduser"
"control info for available version of adduser"
Second: when the installed and available versions of adduser are reported to be
identical in the top half of the dselect window, then I ought to see the same
control info on each of the two bottom panels mentioned. In fact I do not, the
"available version" seems to be a superset with a few more fields.

Changes:
dpkg (1.14.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Make the copyright information in dpkg-deb.1 and dpkg-split.1 match the
one in the source. Thanks to Nicolas François. Closes: #379320
* Allow dpkg-buildpackage to properly override '-b' when passed after '-B'.
Thanks to Julian Gilbey. Closes: #397479
* Move retrieval of uid and gid information from controllib.pl into a
function, so that scripts not needing it do not execute that code.
Based on a patch by Riku Voipio. Closes: #396884
* Do not bail out in dpkg when building without start-stop-daemon support,
by checking if the macro value is true instead of it being defined.
Thanks to Mark Rosenstand.
* Make all perl scripts use strict and warnings, to ease catching errors.
* Add a missing newline to a warning message in dpkg. Closes: #390914
Thanks to Ian Jackson.
* Fix typo in variable name in dpkg-source which was causing it to not
create directories when extracting the diff. Closes: #374645
* Fix up and down keystrokes in the dselect help message. Closes: #383438
Thanks to Sven Joachim.
* Convert 822-date to be a simple wrapper around 'date -R'. 822-date is
now deprecated and should not be used anymore. It might be removed
sometime in the future. Closes: #31634, #367712, #314462
Thanks to Frank Lichtenheld.
