Thanks for your bugreport and the video!

This is really a bug in libapt. The problem here is that apt needs to download a "index" file that has the information about how many packages needs to be downloaded and how big those are. Once the index file is downloaded it updates the status and that's why you see those strange "skips".

I agree that the behaviour should be improved (e.g. by showing the progress of downloading the release-index file first and then starting from 0% again for the rest of the packages file).

I would like to ask if you could file this bug to either the debian or the ubuntu bugtracker? I find the savannah bugtracker cumbersome to use.

Thanks,
Michael

When you do a update of the packages from inside synaptic, the progressbar doesn't go smooth from 0% to 100%. To make this clear, i attached a movie (115 KB) that describes what the problem is.
