Description Christian Boltz 2008-04-22 21:20:27 UTC 
When updating from 10.3 to 11.0 beta1, I noticed that the "Remaining packages" progressbar is very optimistic. It shows "100% complete" when there are still 1144 packages (3.9 GB) to install...

Some snapshots:

     Remaining packages      Remaining time        % completed in progressbar
     1427 / 4.19 GB          2:16:41               76 %
     1209 / 4.00 GB          > 2:18:07             98 %
     1144 / 3.90 GB          > 2:17:39             100 % (!)
     ...
     133  / 632 MB           13:11                 about 20 % (no number 
                                                   displayed in progressbar)

The y2logs are available in Attachment 209255 [details] of Bug 381751.
Screenshots on request.

(I know the progressbar can and will never be really exact. But this behaviour is just totally broken.)

Comment 2 Christian Boltz 2008-04-25 19:07:58 UTC 
I'm quite sure this is not a duplicate.

Differences:
- it happens while packages are installed (not on package manager startup)
  This means there's really enough time to look at the 100% state ;-)
- it happens while installation (not in the running system)
- the progressbar was painted correctly from the technical point of view (at 
  100%, it was completely filled blue)

(Repos used: Factory and non-OSS, both in beta1 state.)

To provent the question why this is not only minor: have a look at the values in comment #0. YaST showed 100% complete (which should mean "finished") when there were still 1144 packages / 3.90 GB to install, with a remaining time of over 2 hours. 
In reallife, I would not call it minor or normal if someone is two hours late. ;-)

HuHa, is the 'optimistic slideshow' yours or ...?
Comment 6 Ladislav Slezák 2008-04-28 16:13:08 UTC 
I guess that the number of packages to install/update is wrongly computed...
Comment 7 Ladislav Slezák 2008-04-29 07:41:50 UTC 
No, the problem is the same as in bug #380867, but in this case the progress bar value is clipped to a positive number so the progress bar is displayed properly (as opposed to bug #380867), but the value is wrong.
