  Title: zypper progress indicator
   
  openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed
  Priority
      Requester: Desirable
   
  Requested by: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko)
  Partner organization: openSUSE.org
   
Description:
  Provide an indicator using zypper up or zypper dup to let the user know
  how far along the process is (preferably by percentage.)
   
  Use Case:
  Especially challenging if you are in the middle of zypper updates and
  unsure how far along you need to do something else (even possibly come
  back to the machine. Knowing what percentage of the progress is
  completed would be useful.
  I don't think we want some other type of indicator (e.g. how much time
  left) because there's too many variables. But a percentage should be
  fairly straightforward. We know how many packages are to be
  downloaded/installed and how many are completed so far.
   
  Business case (Partner benefit):
  openSUSE.org: Makes use of zypper less intimidating to some users who
  feel they are at the mercy of a command that doesn't tell them how they
  are doing.

  Hi,
  There is a (#_of_installed_packages/total_#_of_packages) E.g.
  "Retrieving package kdebase4-session-4.6.1-54.1.i586 (183/195) , 10.0
  KiB (18.0 KiB unpacked)"
  -- bob

  in 11.4, during installation, you don't see anything in the
  installation part: Retrieving package vlc-1.1.7-3.pm.16.1.x86_64
  (35/36), 883.0 KiB (2.0 MiB unpacked) Retrieving: vlc-1.1.7-3.pm.16.1.
  x86_64.rpm [done (218.6 KiB/s)] Retrieving package vlc-aout-pulse-1.1.7-
  3.pm.16.1.x86_64 (36/36), 17.0 KiB (15.0 KiB unpacked) Retrieving: vlc-
  aout-pulse-1.1.7-3.pm.16.1.x86_64.rpm [done] Installing: libgstapp-0_10-
  0-32bit-0.10.32-999.pm.1000.7 [done] Installing: libmp3lame0-3.98.4-3.
  pm.5.1 [done]
  So yes, retrieving shows [x/y] but installation does not.

  I think show [x/y] at the time installation is a good idea!
