[ubuntu-dev] Bug#820224: Interface infelicity: a button labelled 'install package' displays even after installing the package

[Nicholas Joll]

Package: GDebi
Version: 0.9.5.3ubuntu2

This program displays a button marked 'install package' whether or not
you have already used that very button to install a package. This means
that if one returns to the window, one can forget whether one has
installed the package or not - which can be no joke if it is a package
that takes ages to install (especially since GDebi takes up all my CPUs).

Suggested fix: change the text, after the package has been installed, to
're-install package' (note the 're-').

Addendum: on my system, clicking the 'website' link in the program's
helpbox runs my default browser - Firefox - but *seemingly without
loading my browser profile*: the toolbars are in their original,
uncustomised state. Please tell me whether I should file this as a
separate (Debian?) bug.

I am running Linux Mint 17.3 x64 Cinnamon. I have experienced the above
problem whilst using (on Mint) various Linux kernels.
