Description Doug Laidlaw 2015-01-20 17:35:06 CET
Description of problem:
Smart package manager needs to call root authorization.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Call Smart from menu.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

I can call the Smart package manager from the command line after "su -"
but from the menu, just nothing happens.  It should ask for authorization, like rpmdrake.

Why Smart? Because I want to be able to use my computer SOME of the time, instead of waiting while rpmdrake runs around in circles for 20 minutes to get a list. The command-line urpmi is good, but sometimes I get the package name wrong.  You won't sell Mageia on a good command line.

Reproducible:

Comment 1 Atilla ÖNTAŞ 2015-05-20 13:49:21 CEST
Smart is dropped from distribution due to broken urpmi backend and unmaintained. Note that Fedora dropped it two years ago. See: https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2015-05/msg00117.html
