Description of problem: Installed a fresh Mageia 5 RC Gnome from the DVD without Libre Office (unticked "office" checkbox in the custom package selection). In that configuration, I was not able to install any gnome shell extension from my browser. Based on information from Gnome Shell Extensions website [1], I solved my problem by running "urpmi unzip" as root. Thus, IMO gnome-shell package should be dependant of unzip. According to "urpmq --whatrequires unzip", this problem cannot be reproduced in a default installation because the unzip dependancy is brought by Libre Office. [1] https://extensions.gnome.org/about/ How reproducible: Always until unzip is installed Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open your web browser and go to extensions.gnome.org 2. Choose an extension and turn it on 3. Reload the page, the extension is off again 4. Check ~/local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, the extension's directory is there but is empty Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

I have uploaded a patched/updated package for Mageia 5. You can test this by installing the package, installing an extension and seeing if it works. Suggested advisory: ======================== Updated gnome-shell packages fix bug: In GNOME 3, users could not install extensions due to a missing unzip dependency.

I have not validated this update because the Advisory may have to be modified. The source rpm is gnome-shell-3.14.3-8.1.mga5.src.rpm and not gnome-shell-3.14.3-7.1.mga5.src.rpm as mentioned in Comment #2 This needs to be checked by a QA team member with SVN access
Confirmed on IRC that Advisory now OK. This update has now been validated and can be pushed to updates
