Description Juan Antonio Martinez 2008-12-07 13:20:37 UTC
Description of problem:
I've just updated my Fedora 10. at 7-Dec-2008. After rebooting,
launch packagekit an when trying to retrieve packages this error is shown:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
failed to get a TID: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "SetLocale" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit") (0)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PackageKit-0.3.9-4.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
Not allways: I'm replacing two Fedora machines at same time, 
failed one has a PAE i686 kernel (Core 2 Duo)
running one has a normal one (Pentium Celeron)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update packages from repositories
2. reinit computer
3. launch system->administration->add/remove software
4. try to get a list of packages

Actual results:
above error is shown

Expected results:
list of matching packages 

Additional info:
also reported at:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206797
I've also tried a rm /var/lib/rpm/__db* && rpm --rebuild. No changes
Seems like a dbus error that only affect PAE installations
Working machine:
Linux tux.micasa.es 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 12:19:59 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Failed one:
Linux drake.micasa.es 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 12:08:10 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Comment 1 Juan Antonio Martinez 2008-12-07 13:21:28 UTC
other update tools (yumex, yum) seems to work fine

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2008-12-07 17:32:22 UTC
Can you try this please: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=985518

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2008-12-07 18:02:59 UTC
PackageKit-0.3.11-4.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10.

Comment 4 Roman 2008-12-07 18:40:34 UTC
Hello Richard,

the new provided packages work for me. I installed them manually:

sudo rpm -Uvh PackageKit-glib-0.3.11-4.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-udev-helper-0.3.11-4.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-0.3.11-4.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-yum-0.3.11-4.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.3.11-4.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.3.11-4.fc10.i386.rpm gnome-packagekit-0.3.11-3.fc10.i386.rpm

Only to touch it: I had to search for the latest version of the gnome-packagekit package to keep the package dependencies clean.

Thanks,
Roman

Comment 6 John Mellor 2008-12-07 19:11:29 UTC
Since all Fedora updates can now not be applied without walking through a convoluted mess, presumably the front page of the Fedora website should be updated to show people how to get this updates going again.  This should be a critical and manual-overide update because of this, not a low-priority item.

Comment 7 Hesham Kamar 2008-12-07 19:21:14 UTC
well I'm a lucky beginner that reached here, but still cannot do the update. Hopefully they will not post same hard ways in the front page.
can anybody tell me (simply) how to fix that???

Latest Packagekit from Testing repo does NOT resolve the problem in F9.

after installing PackageKit update from koji I can get updates and add / remove software working, but when I try to run system-config-services as user, I get this:

> Updated PackageKit with the scr.rpm from koji and I still see the error:

Yes, I'm now waiting for a fixed DBus package with introspection allowed.

Comment 23 Martí­n Marqués 2008-12-08 15:32:15 UTC
Richard, with the new DBus and this PackageKit everything should go back to normal, right?

Also, one thing I found in the src.rpm is that I lacks gcc-c++ build requirement, which is needed to compile it.

Comment 24 Richard Hughes 2008-12-08 15:43:43 UTC
Colin is working upstream with DBus at the moment for an upstream fix. When we've got a new DBus in the repos, it should be back to normal.

I'm not sure about gcc-c++ -- it seems to build in koji okay, so are you sure this isn't in the build root by default?

1) Downloaded the src.rpm
2) Installed dependencies missing when trying to build with rpmbuild --rebuild
3) rpmbuild --rebuild starts the proceses, un packs the tar.bz2 starts compiling with gcc and dies when trying to compile with g++:

Installing gcc-c++ solves the problem.

Comment 27 Julian Sikorski 2008-12-08 17:30:17 UTC
gcc-c++ is in the default buildroot, afaik yum install buildsys-build or something similar installs all the required tools.

Comment 28 Cory 2008-12-08 20:27:22 UTC

I had the same problem. Solution: uninstall old PackageKit with deps and install the new version.

I hope we're not being overly complicated in our solution, but it seems very strange that after I did a security update for the dbus package that this solution as described here (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18931), which simply added one line to a configuration file, solved my problem, which is the same problem as described by Juan Antonio, except that I am on Fedora 9.

on one of my systems, F10-64, I tried this... now System->Administration->Add/Remove Software simply tries to start for about 10 sec then gives up, whereas before making this change it opened the gui and you just could not do anything without the aforementioned error.

Similarly if I try Update System.

if I look in xsession-errors I can see what I _think_ is gpk-application or gpk-update-viewer (?) getting a Gtk-CRITICAL and failing to create a window or something.

Anyway, I am a noob, took me an hour to figure out how to use vim then tried gedit and got it done. But I have no business trying to do this to my poor machines. I clearly picked the wrong day to load fedora. I will change the file back the way it was and see what the bug-fixers come up with.

Comment 35 John Murphy 2008-12-08 22:34:49 UTC
Status:  	 CLOSED NEXTRELEASE
Version: 	10
Platform: 	i686 Linux
Priority: 	low Severity: urgent 

(a) closed next release? you gotta be kidding me! what about the folks like me that can barely figure out how to edit a root file let alone manage packages without a working graphical package manager!
(b) version seems as tho 9 also has this issue?
(c) I am running a x85_64 and a i686 so this applies to more than just the i686 platform.
(d) priority: low - see above

Comment 36 Julian Sikorski 2008-12-08 22:48:22 UTC
yum update seems to do the trick here, and the error mentioned in comment #21 probably comes from old version of yum refresh-packagekit plugin being active at that moment.

Comment 37 Amir Hedayaty 2008-12-08 22:59:16 UTC
ooops, tried to solve the dependency, I removed the gnome-packagekit. I can not install it now by yum because of dependency problem. Please update gnome-packagekit as well on the repository.

Comment 38 John Murphy 2008-12-08 23:01:21 UTC
did the one-liner
restarted my system (you should tell noobs liuke me to do this when needed)
did yum update

now Add/Remove can update its package lists

thank you

Sorry, good point, an assumption on my part.  Any time you change a "conf" file in Linux, you can usually just restart the affected service (daemon), but sometimes it's just easier to reboot, which is what I did, because I wanted to see how the GNOME PackageKit Update Applet responded.

Comment 40 Cory 2008-12-08 23:21:03 UTC
As of this time it looks like you can

yum clear all
yum check-update
yum update
reboot

and the problem is resolved.

Comment 41 Amir Hedayaty 2008-12-08 23:28:37 UTC
It does not still work for 64bit version. Please update the gnome-pacakgekit! It wants to use the older PackageKit-glib.

Thanks in advance for fixing the dependencies!

well, after trying something like this and getting it working again (mind you I also had wireless problems to deal with etc, a real tough install and two machines worth) something happened as I was merrily adding packages to one of my new systems...

So now I am not really able to do much of anything, many of the packages which seemed to install correctly crash, ones like eclipse or thunderbird that really should be pretty solid, and I am at a point where packages install in the add/remove gui but then show up as not installed. plus the above dependency issue.

gnome-packagekit-0.3.11-3.fc10 still needs to hit the repos in order for this problem to be completely fixed.  (This solves the Missing Dependency: libpackagekit-glib.so.10).  You can manually download it from here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=72465

Comment 47 Richard Hughes 2008-12-09 08:25:24 UTC
I've built this update, just waiting for it to get pushed: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/PackageKit-0.3.12-1.fc10,gnome-packagekit-0.3.12-1.fc10,kpackagekit-0.3.1-9.fc10

Comment 48 Ian Amess 2008-12-09 08:38:50 UTC
If I'm missing the point then apologies in advance, but isn't the root casuse of this problem the update to DBus/PolicyKit? Wouldn't it be a better use of resource to concentrate on this issue rather than producing package after package to solve just one problem ( and possibly causing others)?

If the change to PolicyKit authorisations is a hard one to fix then why not regress the change so that we can all have our systems working again?

Comment 49 Richard Hughes 2008-12-09 09:44:43 UTC
Ian, the updated DBus package changes the defaults. This means we have to "punch holes" in the default policy now, when it used to just work.

Comment 50 Brian Morrison 2008-12-09 10:30:31 UTC
The next time this sort of thing happens, better coordination between the packagers of the various packages would make a lot of sense.

I imagine a lot of people will have systems in a state where Update System is not working and they don't have the knowledge to recover from that state, and it isn't going to happen automatically now is it?

Surely the correct course of action would be to push all the needed new packages to the repositories simultaneously?

What with the DNS IP v4/v6 lookup problems with F10, this is looking as if no one thought things through and that updates-testing is not providing enough feedback to be useful.

How about a "recommended for critical testing" resource so that those of us that are prepared to push the envelope a bit can concentrate on the potential system-breaking packages and try to avoid these sort of problems making it to updates?

Comment 51 Richard Hughes 2008-12-09 12:29:11 UTC
Brian, yes, the dbus update was meant to go into updates-testing, but Colin pushed it directly into stable. This wasn't the way it was meant to have worked.

Comment 52 Pramod Dematagoda 2008-12-09 12:57:49 UTC
This update has affected Fedora 9 pretty drastically as well, now, PackageKit does not work unless the configuration file is edited as mentioned in the freedesktop.org bug report, gnome-power-manager can no longer change computer speed policies(already filed a bug on that, but no response yet), and something I just found out, the bluetooth applet has lost the ability to keep track of connected devices, running services and active adapters(in short, it has lost communication totally). 

Shall I file another bug report for the bluetooth applet or keep it here since the problems are related?

Comment 53 Filip Bartmann 2008-12-09 13:05:06 UTC
And how it is other packages fixed to work with new DBus, such as KDE logout dialog(missing PowerOff/Reboot buttons) or system-config-... apps?

Comment 54 Ian Amess 2008-12-09 13:11:11 UTC
When your in a hole stop digging! Will someone please get a grip on this, if
the policykit package was supposed to be pushed to testing before stable then regress the change! Create an updated package from the old source and push it out asap! Give people time to test the new security rather than have this PR disaster for what is basically a very good product.

Comment 55 Richard Hughes 2008-12-09 13:19:47 UTC
Ian, the DBus update has caused the problems. PolicyKit is just another product affected. I agree the update was handled badly, but it's not up to me as I'm not the DBus maintainer.

Comment 56 Ian Amess 2008-12-09 13:36:41 UTC
Ok I stand corrected, however, its seems to me that we need some better co-ordination here! If I was to introduce a change without it being tested properly in my Company I would be rightly sacked at once, if it caused the problems this DBus change has. There are a myriad of packages that use the old DBUS policy that will now not work! Surely someone within the Project can make a decision to regress the latest DBus change and get this problem sorted.

I spend a great deal of time in my Company promoting the use of Linux and Fedora/Redhat in particular as an alternative to more costly OS's, this farce does not help my case!

(In reply to comment #47)
> I've built this update, just waiting for it to get pushed:
> http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/PackageKit-0.3.12-1.fc10,gnome-packagekit-0.3.12-1.fc10,kpackagekit-0.3.1-9.fc10

 Installing these packages manually fixed the dbus errors on the CLI. Updates now work reliably again from CLI ('yum update' or 'yum install'). but not UI

 I used updated PackageKit and gnome-packagekit packages and installed manually on F10, and the errors stopped.

Fedora 10 i386 install
Steps to reproduce:
1) wget each of the packages required.
2) yum clean all
3) yum check-update (may not be required?)
4) yum remove PackageKit (also removes dependancies)
5) rpm -Uvh PackageKit-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-glib-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-udev-helper-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-yum-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm
6) rpm -Uvh gnome-packagekit-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm gnome-packagekit-extra-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm 
7) yum update

 Now, when using 'Update System' UI, the UI returns a blank list of packages for updating, and the UI won't exit when using the 'Close' button. So effectively, the updates fix the dbus messages, but gnome-packagekit doesn't appear to be working.

Please pardon my lack of knowledge.

I would like to perform the steps in Comment 61 - but I have not found where I can wget or ftp all of the packages mentioned.  Please advise.

Do I need to update either:
 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.conf
or
 /etc/dbus-1/system.conf

both are currently at the original values.



Thanks for the help.

Comment 69 Brian Morrison 2008-12-10 15:34:07 UTC
Until the repository mirrors sync after the packages are pushed to updates, look here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=5206

You may need to move up the hierarchy to get the various packages, the gnome-packagekit one won't be with PackageKit.

Take care with this approach, it probably doesn't fix everything as it seems that dbus is going through major changes and a lot of other packages need to change to fit in.

This really should not have gone to updates yet!

Comment 70 kevin.t.bowen 2008-12-11 05:20:08 UTC
I understand this is free software and nobody owes me anything, but just from the standpoint of trying to understand better what's going on, I really don't get how a situation like this could be allowed to have persisted for this long, or why it isn't being treated as an urgent matter. I've been using Fedora since... well since before Fedora... RedHat 6 era, and this is the first time I've ever seen a core system component get broken and remain unfixed for days at a time, with no communication with the community on the issue. This is not some random package, it's basically the entire distro that's broken - there needs to be some kind of notice on the web site informing people of the issue, pointing them to fixes, etc, or better yet, revert the change, as has been suggested by others... is it not possible to push out a downgrade via yum? If not, how about playing around with verion numbers to get the revert pushed out looking like an update? Regardless of the details, this needs to get fixed quick. Fedora is pretty much the public face of Linux to the outside world - having the mainline, stable branch be broken for days at a time, without even an ETA on a fix, doesn't look good for any of us. If Windows Update pulled down a patch that broke Vista, we would all be laughing our asses off...

Do I understand correctly that this bug will be or has been fixed automatically in F10, but FC9 users are being told that the fix is to upgrade to FC10?

Comment 73 Scott Mcdermott 2008-12-11 14:50:55 UTC
I should point out, that I (as an F9 user) do not seem to have any problems caused by this error.  It occurs every time I "yum update" but doesn't prevent the update from working, and as someone that does not use any dbus tools and barely enters a GUI, it seems so far to be a harmless, nominal error.

Comment 76 kevin.t.bowen 2008-12-11 18:54:32 UTC
OK, I was a bit harsh last night - pissed off after hours of fruitless troubleshooting - my apologies for the harsh tone... Scott, you're right that if you're a non-GUI user this doesn't really affect you much, so perhaps my description of it as "the entire distro" being broken was a bit exaggerated... but we (the open-source masses) are in a constant battle of trying to convince our pointy-haired-bosses that linux is ready for primetime, that command line hackery, conf file grepping and man page grokking are no longer necessary - everyday sysadmining can be done these days entirely via nice GUI tools.... so when, for example, system-config-services won't load, pointing people to the manpage for chkconfig isn't much consolation. 

I still think there needs to be some visible communication from Fedora officialdom on this issue... if not on the fedoraproject frontpage, at least here, in this bug report. Can someone give an official line on the status of this issue? A lot of people seem to be reading the bug status to mean F9 is wontfix, upgrade to F10 - which I'm sure isn't what was intended (especially since it isn't fixed in F10), but can someone give an official clarification? And a recommendation of which of the workarounds is a better idea? Downgrade dbus? Or do the conf file hack? Which of the two conf files? Are there security implications to doing the conf file hack?

Comment 77 Scott Mcdermott 2008-12-11 20:12:04 UTC
I must disagree.  While I concur that what happened is idiotic, I must say, if you are using Fedora at a "company" then you deserve problems.  Companies should not be using RHEL unless they have admins that want to babysit its development.  There is a reason for the `E' in `RHEL'.  Fedora is basically a work in progress and no sane person should think otherwise.  You should deploy it consistent with its release schedule, development policies, quality guarantees (which do not exist), etc.  This means use at your own risk! If your Enterprise cannot afford an Enterprise OS distribution, use a clone.  The Fedora developers are doing the best they can.  It is unfunded software.  The whole reason this can exist without funding is because bugs like this appear here first and therefore will NOT end up in the RHEL product.  Choose the right tool for the job and don't tell your PHB that active development projects are Enterprise-ready.  If you want to do that, it's on you.

Comment 78 Scott Mcdermott 2008-12-11 20:15:25 UTC
Need Real Name (Kevin?), sorry, I mistook you for the fellow Ian that posted earlier.  I don't know whether you use Fedora in a business or not.  Nonetheless, my point still stands to those it applies to.

Comment 81 Pramod Dematagoda 2008-12-13 02:06:57 UTC
Unfortunately things over here at Fedora 9 are pretty much the same where, except for PackageKit, the gnome-power-manager still cannot manage speed policies and the bluetooth applet has no idea about what is going on in the bluetooth system. Is there a bug report like this specifically for Fedora 9, or is this what I should keep looking at?

Comment 83 dick thompson 2008-12-13 07:10:28 UTC
What is the fix for FC10 x64?  From what was noted above the 386 is released but not the x64 unless I missed something in there.

Comment 84 Amir Hedayaty 2008-12-13 07:22:12 UTC
There have been several updates after this but the bugs still remain in 64bit platform.

as previously mentioned system-config-services and also system-config-samba, system-config-authentication, system-config-display are completely broken 
also system-config-keyboard, systtem-config-network are partially broken

This is not a small issue I think having most of the fedora config tools + the package-manager (which I have installed it manually) are very serious problem. When someone decides to install linux and asks how is fedora 10, I have to say it is quiet good but do not update it, it will break down your configuration system.

At the release time the most interesting thing on Fedora 10 was the stability this bug has made it one of the most unstable releases ever!

In my opinion you are wrong - Fedora has large community of users who cannot afford RHEL but they are valueable to developers, so structural changes like this should be done in rawhide not in newly released Fedora 10. Every time new release of Fedora comes out I think - what will be broken this time? Fedora 10 was the first one which worked out of the box (with couple small issues like no Polish or British English languages to install in anaconda). A rude approach “it's developers distro so you know what you get” will annoy your community and shrink your community. When I read about new features in Fedora 10, many of these features are described as “better user experience” - as of now Fedora is one of the most used Linux distro, so developers should not play with official releases like it happened here.

I know, it might be a stupid human error - some one pushed update directly to “updates” skipping “updates-testing” - it happens - simple “we are sorry, we'll fix that ASAP” would be enough.

Comment 86 brad 2008-12-14 01:43:41 UTC
Well  - after trying the updates - editing the file(s) - things just did not work right:  Many things did look much better - but not everything - like the program used to help configure samba.  I guess I learned my lesson and went back to swat for fast and dirty confederation.

I thought I would give fedora core - 10 one more try.  I downloaded the Full DVD for 86-64 and reformatted, upgraded only items I have to get my file server back online.

I thought it odd that the priority was rated as only "low".

Will this problem be resolved in FC 10 - or only on FC11 - not sure if I am understanding the "CLOSED NEXTRELEASE" which means parts of the fixes might "leak" into this release but not a total solution.

How odd  I thought FC 10 was less than 2 months old.  What is the life span of a FC release?  



Brad - - having some fun in Colorado

Comment 87 kevin.t.bowen 2008-12-15 18:54:34 UTC
My F9 boxes seem fixed after the last batch of updates, but my F10 (i386) test machine is still having issues - packagekit works now, but system-config-services is still broken. Is anyone from redhat/fedora reading this? There still needs to be clarification that "NEXTRELEASE" doesn't mean F11 - people are getting freaked out when they see that. Also, I still don't understand why we can't just roll back to before the breakage, rather than waiting on each individual app to be fixed to work with the new code - obviously that's the right solution for the long term, but for right now people's boxes are broken, and have been for over a week now - why can't we just revert mainline and do the individual app fixes in rawhide?

Comment 88 Benny 2008-12-17 09:51:45 UTC
system-config-services is still not running on many F10 boxes, why is this bug CLOSED NEXTRELEASE, it is still a valid bug, it is still bugging F10.

Comment 89 Filip Bartmann 2008-12-17 10:27:58 UTC
And KDE logout dialog not works still too. The buttons for PowerOff/Restart are still missing. When it will be repaired???!!!! It's over week when this problem appears. When it will be completely fixed???!!!!

Comment 90 Andrew Rechenberg 2008-12-17 14:05:27 UTC
Not sure if this is the correct bug, but I can't run system-config-display on my F10 box.  Getting a dbus.proxies ERROR.

Comment 91 Brian Morrison 2008-12-18 08:09:38 UTC
The problem should now be resolved, the dbus updates have been reverted to 1.2.4-1 in both F9 and F10, reintroducing CVE-2008-4311 while work continues on fixing applications to work with the updated dbus.

So, sanity has prevailed!

Comment 92 Amir Hedayaty 2008-12-20 06:41:22 UTC
Thank God! Finally with the new update the bug has been fixed (though some of the config packages have still bugs and they do not start up, but it is not related to this bug)

Comment 93 Brian Morrison 2008-12-21 00:54:34 UTC
There is also a tracking bug that collates progress on the various things that broke:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18980

Probably worth keeping an eye on it to see what's happening.
