** Summary changed:

- Updating via update-manager sets Software Center as "In Progress"
+ Updating in Update Manager shows "Progress" in Ubuntu Software Center

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
+ Ubuntu Software Center 3.0.5, Ubuntu 10.10
+ Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.22, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1
  
- Steps to reproduce:
- 1: Have SC open in the background
+ 1: Have USC open in the background
  2: Install updates in Update Manager
- 3: Notice SC changes to "In Progress" .
+ 
+ What happens: The "Progress" item appears in USC, with the ability to
+ cancel the updates.
+ 
+ What should happen: Only tasks triggered from USC in particular should
+ be shown in USC's "Progress" screen.
+ 
  
  I was browsing Software Center, when Update-manager popped-up with an Update notification.
  Selected to install the updates, and after entering the policy-kit authentication, update was continuing in the update-manager.
  
  Now I notice that Software Center is also set as "In Progress" and it shows a "Downloading", etc.. with an option to "Cancel" !
  I dint know what i had chosen to install or remove and had no clue what i may have done accidentally.
  
  It took a few mins to realize that it was the updates in UM which is being registered in SC as "In progress" .
  I could only guess this since I knew both SC and UM are using apt-daemon. 
  I would expect it to be more confusing to someone who had no clue about how SC or UM work.
