Description Jan Kratochvil 2008-05-18 12:15:05 UTC

Description of problem:
When I run `gpk-application' only the category `Other' contains all of the
installed+available packages. Other categories (such as `Office') are empty.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PackageKit-0.1.12-10.20080505.fc9.x86_64
yum-3.2.14-10.fc9.noarch
gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9.x86_64
(updated Fedora 9, system is being upgraded since Fedora Core 1 or so.)

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run `Add/Remove Software'.
2. Click `Office'.
3. Wait.
4. Wait.

Actual results:
No results were found

Expected results:
Packages like OpenOffice.org.

Additional info:
It was fixed by doing:
yum install yum-list-data
yum list-groups
# which downloaded:
comps-f9.xml                                             | 1.3 MB     00:32     
comps.xml                                                |  12 kB     00:00    
Fedora-9-comps.xml.gz                                    | 311 kB     00:08     
Fedora-9-comps.xml.gz                                    | 311 kB     00:22     
comps-f9.xml                                             | 1.3 MB     00:32     

and since that moment `gpk-application' now displays the groups correctly.
But sure this comps download should have happened automatically.

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2008-05-22 20:41:01 UTC

PackageKit-0.1.12-13.20080522.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2008-05-28 09:27:24 UTC

Is this still a problem?

Comment 3 Jan Kratochvil 2008-05-28 11:03:19 UTC

It now reports:
  The group was not found
  comps categories could not be loaded

I am sure my grandfather running Fedora will not be able to fix it himself.
I expected he will be able to install there some Games from Fedora Everything.
In fact I spent some time to find `yum list-groups' myself for this Comment 0
and well I am running Red Hat since its version 4.x.

PackageKit is there IMO to make the package management user friendly.  I still
rather use rpm (or unfortunately yum) myself as I find the commandline more
convenient.  But I would like to make Fedora accessible for the end-users.

Sure thanks for the update but I still do not find this Bug to be solved.

Comment 4 Richard Hughes 2008-05-28 13:07:59 UTC

>Sure thanks for the update but I still do not find this Bug to be solved.

Right, but now we know what the problem is.

cats = self.yumbase.comps.categories
if len(cats) == 0:
    self.error(ERROR_GROUP_LIST_INVALID,'comps categories could not be loaded')

Robin, would it be possible to refresh the comps list at this stage?
