Description Michael 2019-09-22 18:21:16 UTC
Description of problem:
The package paprefs requires 'Packagekit-session-service', which seems to be only fulfilled by the package 'apper' (KDE interface for PackageKit). 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
paprefs-1.1-3.fc31

How reproducible:
Install paprefs on Fedora 31.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install paprefs
2.
3.

Actual results:
Dependency 'apper' is taken.

Expected results:
If an interface to PackageKit is required at all, it shouldn't take a KDE component.

Additional info:
According to https://fedora.pkgs.org/30/fedora-x86_64/gnome-packagekit-common-3.32.0-1.fc30.x86_64.rpm.html, the Fedora 30 (!) component 'gnome-packagekit-common' would have provided that dependency. That seems to be not the case for Fedora 31 however.

Comment 1 Julian Sikorski 2019-09-22 20:42:05 UTC
The virtual provide was removed from gnome-packagekit:

The PK dependency is there so that pulseaudio modules can be installed with a click. If I switch the dependency to gnome-packagekit directly, KDE users will complain. Not sure how to deal with this.

Discussed during the 2019-09-23 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedBlocker" was made as it does not appear to violate any criteria.

Comment 3 Michael J Gruber 2020-04-09 08:02:05 UTC
While this was not a blocker the bug is still there:

Installing paprefs (79k) pulls in 48 packages (89M install size) of which exactly one (pulseaudio-module-gsettings) is required per upstream. Almost all of them are not toolkit (qt5) but desktop environment (kf5, plasma workspace) for the DE of a non-default spin. (I use i3 and used KDE before, no KDE hater here ;) )

paprefs builds nicely and works (AFAICT) without the PK dependendency (with a "Suggests"), of course without automatic PK module search. I would assume that papref users are aware of the necessary modules.
