Description Mathieu Bridon 2008-05-29 18:26:25 UTC
Description of problem:
The notification icon appeared, telling me updates were available. I clicked on
"review" to check what was to be updated. I checked the details for each
application to update with success, except for the one which is yum. When
clicking on the "yum" package, gpk-update-viewer crashed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-13.20080516.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always, but only for this particular package.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. review updates
2. click on the yum package => crash
3. the notification icon remains, and I can do it again
  
Actual results:
the update viewer crashes

Expected results:
it should display the yum package update details.

Additional info:
Here is the list of available updates in gpk-update-viewer:
- audit{,-libs-libs-python}

I attached the result of $ gkp-update-viewer -v.

Can you try updating just PackageKit and gnome-packagekit first, then trying
again please? Thanks.

Comment 3 Mathieu Bridon 2008-05-29 23:19:38 UTC
I do not have any update for PackageKit or gnome-packagekit, so I enabled the
updates-testing repo and saw there were.

Using yum --changelog, I found out this update corrected the bug 447347 (which I
hadn't found as its status is "ON_QA", which is not selected by default in the
bugzilla search).

Seems exactly like what I have, so I updated it.

Now the issue is fixed.

Sorry about that, next time I'll select all status while searching for a bug :)
