Description

This is because of the new PackageKit → libappstream-glib dependency in 1.0.4 (introduced by this upstream commit: https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/commit/62bc031cab55e1830a99f79ea12b7e59a9f54c3a ) and the resulting PackageKit → libappstream-glib → gtk3 dependency chain. This also affects my pure-KDE Fedora Remix Kannolo. Adding the Regression keyword because this dependency bloat was introduced to Fedora 21 in an update. Here's a build without AppStream support as a quick fix: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/kkofler/kannolo/build/78277/ Corresponding sources, if you don't want to look into the SRPM: http://svn.calcforge.org/viewvc/kannolo/trunk/packages/PackageKit/?pathrev=126 We've fixed this by unbundling the gtk-pixbuf image loaders in F23. Meh… To me, this is still a completely unnecessary GTK+ dependency, and I will continue to build PackageKit without this "automatic AppStream installation" support for Kannolo. I really don't see why we need image loaders at all just to copy a file. How does this work in all the other PackageKit backends? You also did nothing to address this dependency chain issue (not even in your suboptimal way) in the existing releases Fedora 21 (which you broke in an update!) and 22. 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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. |
