Description Felix Botner

Seems that the appcenter does not run apt-get update before installing package based apps. I think we should do that to update the package lists (that may have been changed due to errata updates).

This is only the case for UCS Components. Package bases Apps add a new repository and of course do an apt-get update.

apt-get update takes its time, so I thought it would save time for the user. Installing errata updates also does an apt-get update somewhere.

What exactly was the problem here? The installation status shown? Or really the installation of an App?

Because in UCS 4.3, this is done by "apt-get" directly. Even the python-apt cache should not need to be reopened for that.

I prioritized based on the assumption that this was only a display issue.

This issue has been filed against UCS 4.3.

UCS 4.3 is out of maintenance and many UCS components have changed in later releases. Thus, this issue is now being closed.

If this issue still occurs in newer UCS versions, please use "Clone this bug" or reopen it and update the UCS version. In this case please provide detailed information on how this issue is affecting you.
