Description Jérôme Borme 2014-02-02 21:02:25 CET
When selecting or unselecting a package the selection window correctly displays the signed amount of space that is required or that will be freed. However, when clicking on "apply", the small configuration window displays incorrect information in case of removing software. It says "0b of additional space is required", where I would expect "2.7Mb will be recovered".

In the attached screenshot you can see the "0 byte" sentence in the small window. In the bottom of the window in the background, you can see that the balance is actually "-2.7 Mb"

Reproducible:

Comment 2 Samuel Verschelde 2015-09-21 13:21:28 CEST
Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
