Description Davy Meers

Build Identifier: 3.5.2.R35x_v20100210-0800-9hEiFzmFst-TiEn9hNYgDWg1XN8ulH_JvCNGB

When you already are installing new software, and you want to install other software, you can select the software you want in the wizard, the requirements and dependencies are calculated, but you cannot finish the new installation.

It would be nicer if you could finish that installation, but the installation is just queued ( like a task that is waiting for another task to finish ) until the running installation is done.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install new software
2.Run in background
3.Try to install new software while the previous installation is still running

The workflow issue that has to be worked out to support this, is that the resolution (calculating dependencies) is done against the current profile, and the current profile could change as a result of the previous operation.  

So we can queue the user request, but we have to resolve afterward.  If everything works, that's not a big deal.  It just means that if things don't work, we may need to launch the wizard in some kind of error state to allow the user to sort it out.

This would be a nice improvement.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

This is still the main reported error on the Marketplace reports for my plugins: "Cannot continue the operation. There is another install operation in progress."
