Mint 20: When purging or downgrading foreign packages, I'm dropped at a shell prompt after the command finishes #213

After purging/downgrading foreign packages I'm dropped at a shell prompt instead of the dialog closing. Not clear if this is intended, but it doesn't seem like great user experience.

This is reproducible with mintsources 2.0.5. The prompt just sits there, without a blinking cursor, waiting for the user to close the dialog. It would be nicer if there is a notice like "You may now close the dialog" or something after the command finishes.

Yeah, I mean you're already doing a somewhat scary thing as instructed by the upgrade guide - it'd be even worse as a new user if something like this happened.

Extra question: is this a root prompt then that you're dropped at?
