Bug Description

Binary package hint: computer-janitor

Found what I consider 4 bugs in computer-janitor.

1. Unclear usage, before I found out that I could click a package under 'Packages' or a file under 'Other' I had no idea what would happen if I pressed 'Do selected tasks'.

2. If I press a file under 'Other' it says 'Package will be installed' even though the file is called /etc/init/gssd.conf.dpkg-new (for example). I guess the file will be removed?

3. After pressing 'Do selected tasks' and then authenticating with my password I get 'System clean up could not complete. Be sure no other package manager such as Synaptic or Update Manager is running.' even though nothing like that is running, 'ps ax | grep apt' shows nothing.

4. I could not report this bug via Help > Report a problem which is used in most other applications.
