How can I complete “Omega: Packages For Ish”?

Question

In the assignment Omega: Packages for Ish, I picked up the packages he wanted from Illium and from the Citadel, and then I delivered them to him. I then chose the paragon option of talking him into not using them, at which point he thanked me for probably saving his life and left.

However, the assignment is still open in my journal. What do I need to do to close this out? I tried talking to Aria and to Anto after talking to Ish, but neither had anything to say about it.

This is a known bug in Mass Effect 2, and as of the most recent patch/steam version, is still in effect. There is no current solution.

These are the possible paths to take when starting this mission for the first time. Bringing the package to Anto will allow the quest to properly close, but locks you into the rewards and responses from that decision - which you may not want.

From the wiki, these are your options:

If you bring the package to Ish, you can either:

• Give the packages to Ish for +50 experience, +4500 credits, and +5 Renegade points.
• Or convince Ish he's in over his head for +40 experience, +3375 credits, and no morality points; yet the mission remains open in the
  journal.

If you bring the package to Anto (one of Aria's bodyguards in the Afterlife Club) - which you can either do first or after convincing Ish to leave as described above - you can either:

• Give the package to Anto for +5 Paragon/Renegade points.

• Or extort money from Anto for +40 experience, +2250 credits, and +5 Paragon/Renegade points.

In either case, no one will hear from Ish ever again if the mission is turned in to Anto. Should you choose the middle option of "Take care of Ish", Shepard will simply suggest that Anto "clean up the mess" by killing Ish, which Anto does. And if Jacob is in the squad, he finds Shepard's choice to be harsh, though he still sees that Ish deserves such an end. If Miranda is in the squad, she'll say that "that's exactly how [she] expected Ish to go out".
