Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2019-02-05 19:10:57 CET 
Still true from Gnome Live start Feb 2019, M7b2.2
Comment 2 David GEIGER 2019-02-05 20:38:12 CET 
I think that this package should be dropped from Cauldron as it is too old and unmaintained upstream!

Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2019-02-06 10:32:59 CET 
Please do! Could it be removed (other than manually) where already installed? Do we have updates that take out packages?
Comment 4 Lewis Smith 2019-02-19 10:44:49 CET 
M7beta2.3 still true.
I was told that Bluetooth needed to be installed for this application to work. It seems to be:
 $ rpm -qa | grep blue
bluez-firmware-1.2-14.mga7.nonfree
networkmanager-bluetooth-1.14.4-5.mga7
gnome-bluetooth-3.28.2-3.mga7
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-12.2-4.mga7
lib64gnome-bluetooth13-3.28.2-3.mga7
lib64bluez3-5.50-3.mga7
bluez-5.50-3.mga7
lib64gnome-bluetooth-gir1.0-3.28.2-3.mga7
 but I have no Bluetooth, so it is certainly not running.

As long as we include this package, we run the risk of a bug like this one. If it can be justifiably removed, better to do so. It *is* trivial & harmless, but we fix lesser things.
Otherwise it can be closed WontFix if that would help.

I dropped it from meta-task's rpmsrate.

Comment 6 Jani Välimaa 2019-04-13 08:28:08 CEST 
The whole pkg is dropped from Mageia.

$ urpmf --obsoletes gnome-phone-manager
task-obsolete:gnome-phone-manager[< 0.69-18]

Closing as FIXED.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
