Description Nicolas Vigier 2011-04-26 02:27:56 CEST

When doing a default install with gnome, packagekit is installed. When clicking on an rpm file, packageit is used and install of the package is not working (bug #934).

I think packagekit should not be installed by default (as long as it is not working), so that gurpmi can be used instead.

I think it's pulled by file-roller, which uses the packagekit backend (successfully, I've just tested) to install e.g. unrar when you open a .rar file. So I think it should be installed by default for file-roller in GNOME.

The problem here stems from /usr/share/applications/defaults.list, it still has:
application/x-rpm=mandriva-gurpmi.desktop

but it's now mageia-gurpmi.desktop. After this change gurpmi is the default app for rpm files again.

I've submitted a new shared-mime-info with this change.

Source RPM: (none) => shared-mime-info

Actually, it should be in /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list so that it affects both nautilus and dolphin.

Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-26 22:45:19 CEST

In shared-mime-info-0.90-5.mga1, application/x-rpm=mageia-gurpmi.desktop is in both:
- defaults.list, which is used by some apps, e.g. firefox IIRC
- mimeapps.list, which is used by kde apps (dolphin) and nautilus (which can use either file, IIUC), and apps that are Gvfs/GIO based.

It seems to be fixed now, thanks.
