Description Daniel Napora 2014-11-07 19:02:40 CET 
Not-working packagekit is installed by default in every DE.
It is installed because packagekit-gstreamer-plugin appears in rpmsrate.

In several DE it is "default application" proposed when you try to download rpm package by webbrovser.


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install any DE from Classical Installer DVD
2.
3.


Reproducible:

If anybody want to see it in "action", http://repo.mageia.org.pl/qa/packagekit/

I believe packagekit integration with urpmi was never done. So I suggest to remove packagekit from default installation, until it works.

This is also affecting system-config-printer, as described in bug 15549. The error message in the journal is:

  PackageKit-Urpmi-ERROR **: Backend needs to be ported to 0.8.x -- see backends/PORTING.txt for details

The packagekit package version currently on the mirrors is 1.0.0-2, dating back to last October. I've tried building and installing the latest version (1.0.5), using the spec file and patches in the Mageia Subversion repository, which gets a bit further, then fails. Running packagekitd with the --verbose option, I get the following error:

  STDERR: Can't locate object method "is_package_installed" via package "URPM::DB" at /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/urpmi/urpmi_backend/tools.pm line 90.

@Thierry - it looks like you fixed the first problem. Was there a reason this didn't get pushed into Cauldron?

Link in comment #1 is broken.

Is this bug still present in Mageia 5 RC or newer?

Comment 4 Angelo Naselli 2015-06-09 22:50:35 CEST 
Yes still present and fixed in github as discussed on dev mailing lists.
Some more changes are needed imo... but let's hope to have a good update for mga5 final

Comment 7 Angelo Naselli 2016-02-17 20:40:20 CET 
well not in final mga5 as far as i know :) But i have to admit I haven't tested it any more...
Comment 8 Daniel Napora 2016-02-17 20:53:34 CET 
Looks like it's fixed in MGA6 dev1 snapshot, at last on Plasma 5 and IceWM desktops installed from LiveDVD.

Likewise, as far as I know it didn't get fixed in MGA5. For bug 15549 I worked round the problem by stopping s-c-p from using packagekit. I've not yet got MGA6 to install cleanly, so can't speak to that.

You mean packagekit is fixed, or not installed by default?
Comment 11 Daniel Napora 2016-02-23 16:09:17 CET 
I mean it is not proposed as default application for handling rpm files.
This was reason to file this bug.

Packagekit is installed. I don't know if packagekit is fixed.
Comment 12 Samuel Verschelde 2016-02-23 16:22:26 CET 
Since we can't fix the installers for Mageia 5 and it looks like it's fixed in Mageia 6, closing as Fixed.

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