84638 - wrong upper bound of installed space

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 84492

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Robert Spalek]

Mozilla 0.9 2001060721

when using automatic Linux installer, it produces lots of GTK warnings because
the upper bound for the view of installed space (in megabytes) is too small,
more space is used.

Where did you get this "automatic" linux installer from?  Could you provide the
exact URL?  Thanks.

http://mozilla.org/ and the link on the main page -- main trunk branch
the build id has already been written == 2001060721

Sorry, I would have to install Mozilla again to take a screenshot, but I won't
use the main trunk now, I like the latest stable build.

I used Sawfish WM with Crux theme, gnome desktop with Crux theme, all latest
version from Debian 2.3 woody.

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

I am 110% sure (pun intended) this is a dupe of Bug 84492 - Progress bar is
exceeding 100%. Reading into the reporter's words, I come to this conclusion
because bug 84492 produces a ton of GTK errors on install, because of the upper
bound (100%) being too small apparantly for what is trying to be downloaded
(installed).

Automatic installer is the web installer that automatically downloads the
components selected (hence the link on the main page...  the linux tar.gz in the
nightly section).
Resolving as duplicate.  If I am wrong, then please re-open this, Robert.
