Can you try with the gpk-install-local-file with gnome-packagekit 0.2.x in updates-testing please? Thanks. Installing gnome-packagekit 0.2.3-7.fc9.i386 from testing seems to make things unhappy. gpk-install-local-file .gvfs/$whatever gives failed to install file failed to get a TID: Incorrect path with ';' returned! for which the details are: "failed to get a TID: Incorrect path with ';' returned!" But this also happens with gpk-update-icon: Getting update lists failed Failed to get updates for which the details are again "failed to get a TID: Incorrect path with ';' returned!" A reboot removed the above problem (presumably updating the package didn't restart enough services?) However, gpk-install-local-file .gvfs/$whatever gives details No such file '/home/jf/.gvfs/sftp on calligramme/local/scratch/home/jf/unbacked/RPMS/Random/exmh-2.7.2-1.noarch.rpm' FWIW: $ file .gvfs/sftp\ on\ calligramme/local/scratch/home/jf/unbacked/RPMS/Random/exmh-2.7.2-1.noarch.rpm .gvfs/sftp on calligramme/local/scratch/home/jf/unbacked/RPMS/Random/exmh-2.7.2-1.noarch.rpm: RPM v3 bin i386 exmh-2.7.2-1 Sure, we need to schedule a reboot when we've updated PackageKit between major
versions. I've also managed to reproduce the bug you are seeing.
What's happening is that gpk-install-local-file is running as your user, say uid
500. packagekitd is running as root, uid 0.
When you mount using gvfs, you actually do a FUSE mount. The fuse mount creates
virtual files with the permissions [-rw------- 500:500] i.e accessable by user
500 or anyone in the group 500 -- but nobody else. This includes root.
Because this is a FUSE mount, we can't do something like chmod o+r ${file} as it
won't let us do that.
The only way around this would be to copy the file somewhere like
~/.PackageKit/temp (or /tmp?) and then execute the method on this new path.

new UI
What do you think of the wording here?
Pretty good, though "Do you want to copy this file?" suggests that it might be
you that has to do the copying. Perhaps "Do you want $packagekit-component to
copy this file?" or something similar ("Allow $packagekit-component to copy this
file?"?) would resolve that ambiguity.
Cool, I'll get one of the UI people here at Red Hat to have a look at it. I'll close this next release, and you can pick up the changes either in rawhide or when I backport the next major version of PackageKit into F9. Thanks. |
Description of problem: gpk-install-file .gvfs/sftp\ on\ calligramme\${blah} complains that the file in question doesn't exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount an sftp location with gvfs 2. run gpk-install-file .gvfs/${whatever} 3. Actual results: dbox pops up saying No such file './gvfs/${whatever}' Expected results: Same results as if the file is copied to the local machine and gpk-install-file run on that. Additional info: Same effect happens if gvfs location is opened in nautilus and gpk-install-file opened from nautilus.
