Description Adam Williamson 2023-08-11 19:47:53 UTC

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'

    from dnfpluginscore import _

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:
