Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18, Ubuntu Maverick
1. Download the skype .deb from <http://
2. Open it.
3. In Ubuntu Software Center, click "Install", and wait for it to finish installing.
What happens: The installation state bar changes to say 'Please install "Skype-
What should happen: The installation state bar says just "Installed".
I'm not clear why this text is appearing in the first place. Is it because USC can see a Skype package in Canonical Partners? (I can't tell because of bug 635003.) If so, it should give this warning *before* I install the .deb, not after, and it should use the specced text ('“Canonical Partners” has a newer version'). <https:/

Hi mpt! Thanks a lot for this bug report. I've made a number of changes in my branch as to when we show which warnings etc. I've also fixed us using the wrong title when the filename before the first '_' of the deb file isn't equal to the real pkgname. This is what was causing the 'skype- ubuntu- intrepid' . (The 'skype- ubuntu- intrepid' is still displayed in the navigation bar though - pending fix.) If you have any comments on the changes, please let me know. Thanks again!
