Description Daniel Rusek 2025-12-13 22:18:15 UTC
The xdg-user-dirs-gtk package in Fedora is still on version 0.11 that was released in 2022 (!) instead of the recently released 0.16 version.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xdg-user-dirs-gtk
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-user-dirs-gtk/-/tags

The outdated version has multiple issues and does not work well with recent GNOME releases because it has no systemd service (that is now required).

Please, consider updating it or at least backporting the systemd service patch (see #c1).

The update should be pushed into Rawhide, F43 and F42.

Comment 1 Daniel Rusek 2025-12-13 22:36:19 UTC
Alternatively, please consider at least backporting the following fix:

Comment 2 Daniel Rusek 2025-12-14 19:14:33 UTC
The systemd unit (see previous comment) should also be backported to F43 and F42.

Thanks!
