on holiday, will look into into this when I'm back (August). Got snagged by this, today. Skype stopped working and I went all the way through changing my password before I guessed correctly that my version of the software was so out-of-date that it was disabled for login. Doesn't help that MS kept this a secret, but I was counting on lpf-notify to help prevent this sort of thing. Somehow, this is about the target package version. The current lpf-skype seems to be 4.3.0.37-1. Is this what you have installed? If so, can anyone reproduce a situation where the target is rolled back to previous version 4.2.0.13-4 and check what lpf-notify displays? Hi Alec, So, there is a new lpf-skype package and thought I could use it as a test case for lpf-notify. * I haven't received any alerts from lpf-notify (ever). * I upgraded lpf-skype package and still no notices. * I then upgraded lpf to lpf-0.1-8.36e5aa0.fc20.noarch. Then, I killed lpf-notify and inotifywait processes. Then I restarted lpf-notify using the command: /bin/bash /usr/share/lpf/scripts/lpf-notify notify-watch /usr/share/lpf/scripts/notify . Still not notices. If you could just tell me how lpf-notify is supposed to work, I would look for that action. But, since I've never seen it work, I don't know if I'm just missing it or if it's actually not working. What am I looking for? Also, when I run lpf-gui, now, it shows Skype needs to be built. But, when I try to do that, I get a pop up that says Skype needs to be updated, run lpf-update?. Then I click okay. But, I get *two* more pop-up errors that say the build failed. And that leaves *two* "lpf:skype" windows that say "Updating: skype" but are *both* stuck at the "Build" stage and cannot finish. skype: installing build dependencies /usr/share/lpf/scripts/lpf-pkgbuild: line 52: /var/lib/lpf/log/skype.log: Permission denied skype: downloading sources Getting http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-4.3.0.37.tar.bz2 to ./skype-4.3.0.37.tar.bz2 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 18.4M 100 18.4M 0 0 1513k 0 0:00:12 0:00:12 --:--:-- 1404k skype: building error: File /var/lib/lpf/rpmbuild/SOURCES/skype-4.3.0.37.tar.bz2: No such file or directory Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 skype: build failed skype: build errors skype: exiting Aha! I think I get it now. When I "reset package data", I immediately get the pop-up message from lpf-notify that Skype is ready to update. That's great! I assume that, if I keep the package data(base) clean, that message will pop-up as soon as the new lpf-skype is installed. (That's how it's supposed to work, right?) Hi! Great input, it's not easy to construct test cases here. Will look into this later this week. Hi Alec, Hey, I have new info to report. So, I still haven't ever received any lpf notifications for outdated packages. But, I see that a new lpf-skype package was installed a while ago, presumably with regular system updates which is what I expect. So, what I said in comment 6 is either incorrect (that's not how it is supposed to work) or it is broken (that is how it's supposed to work, but it doesn't). Today, I started the lpf-gui to check on skype and I didn't even get a notification at that point. But, it showed me immediately that lpf-skype had been updated and the Skype pkg needed to be re-built. I clicked on "build" and *then* it gave me the notification that a new version of skype was ready and needed to be re-built. This is wrong and causes problems; if you click on "run lpf-update" it starts *another* build process in parallel and then things break. This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle. Changing version to 34. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
