This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 39 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 39 on 2024-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 'version' of '39'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 39 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. This isn't exactly the same any more in current F41, but something similar is still the case. notify_packagekit.py no longer imports from dnfpluginscore , but it does do `import dnf`. The PackageKit package does not depend on python3-dnf (I just tested, and I can `dnf remove python3-dnf` without PackageKit going away). In the past you could pretty much assume python3-dnf was installed on any Fedora system as dnf needed it, but that is no longer the case, dnf 5 does not use python3-dnf . So PackageKit ought to depend on python3-dnf explicitly. This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
PackageKit contains the notify_packagekit.py DNF plugin, which does `from dnfpluginscore import _`, but it has no dependency on python3-dnf-plugins-core . So you can get in a situation where you have PackageKit installed but not python3-dnf-plugins-core , and then you get errors like this on any dnf install: 2023-08-11T08:11:26-0400 ERROR Failed loading plugin "notify_packagekit": No module named 'dnfpluginscore' 2023-08-11T08:11:26-0400 SUBDEBUG Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/dnf/plugin.py", line 214, in _import_modules module = importlib.import_module(name) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/importlib/__init__.py", line 90, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1293, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1266, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1237, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 841, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 994, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 400, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/dnf-plugins/notify_packagekit.py", line 27, in <module> from dnfpluginscore import _ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnfpluginscore' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install PackageKit without python3-dnf-plugins-core 2. Install a package with dnf Actual Results: Error is displayed and/or logged Expected Results: No error
