Bug 18643

Clarifying

at 4. above it of course only shows updates if all before have have been installed already, known by using synthesis files already downloaded earlier.

at 5. : if user select to update, packages download but then comes is a message "writing to file /var/lib/rpm/installed-through-deps.list failed: Permission denied"

indeed it's already implemented. "mana update" does what you asked for.
We thought that "mana" should do what all the /usr/bin/drak-xx-scripts do e.g. get the rights. Of course where we used dbus rigts are required when a specific operation is performed (such as mana clock for instance) 

The issue here is that while i found the time to disable rpmdragora buttons i didn't for mageiaUpdate. The sysntesys problem i believe that is present for both.

Will take a look asap, and if late provide an update.

I disable dragoraUpdate if not run as root, mana update ask for user password as MageiaUpdate does.

Can you pleas test the incoming patched package?

Fixes verified in manatools-1.1.2-8 :

1)
$ dragoraUpdate -> message tells it need root privilegies and suggest to use mana update instead.

2)
$ mana update -> asks for user password, like MageiaUpdate do.

__TODO
  at 1) above, 

a) that dragoraUpdate dialog is in english (not translated to swedish)

b) clicking OK, it segfaults, output in launching terminal also show "Qt locale directory not set", circumstance i guess is same as in Bug 18653

Status: ASSIGNED => NEW

on comment#6:
a) Well now you could understand now what breaking translations during final release freezing means :) And there is not only Swedish language :p

b) There is nothing i can do. QT seg-faults on exit every (often) now and then, it's an upstream problem i opened time ago: 
https://github.com/libyui/libyui-qt/issues/41

I consider this close then :)

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

:)

There is a strange quirk, probably qt bug too?: sometimes the window is not drawn while downloading the synthesis files.  I it sit there for a few seconds with a grey main window ant on top of that the window that should say it is looking for updates (or somethign like that) but instead it acts like a "hole" to show content that us under the main window, see attached.

that happened now 2 of three starts of
$ mana update

the output in konsole also varies between launches

    (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
    defined.  It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
    To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
    
    To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you
    the name of the variable (if any) that was undefined.  In some cases
    it cannot do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the
    undefined value in.  Note, however, that perl optimizes your program
    and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear
    literally in your program.  For example, "that $foo" is usually
    optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to the
    concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in
    your program.

for comment 9 : download window not painted

yes, i think you run dragoraUpdate --gtk it should not show a frozen windows. Anyway i will check if i can avoid such a behavior by using some poll event calls.
IIUC that happens when downloading media info...

Interesting thing is Argument "431k" i will check if i can understand where we pass k instead of 000 or something like that, there is a misunderstanding in using urpm api maybe.

Yep when downloadign media info

"$ mana update --gtk" as well as "# dragoraUpdate --gtk"
works nicely (after installing manatools-gtk)

One strange detail is that they do not open that large grey main window in background like "$ mana update" (without --gtk) do, instead only show that download window.

libyui is a great project that allows to manage with the same code three UI (e.g. gtk, ncurses and qt) but to have such a feature some limitations are needed.
So yes that is one of the differences
