Description Bevis King 2008-08-23 10:25:56 UTC

Description of problem:
Gnome Package Kit gives a very poor error message when you right click install a package that is already installed.  The message you get is:
------------
Local Install Failed
Installing the local file failed.
More information is available in the detailed report.

V More Details:
Can't install /home/user/Download/xyz-tools-0.8.1-1.fc9.noarch.rpm
------------

If you check with:
rpm -q xyz-tools

you find it's already installed!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try to install a package that is already installed by right clicking and
choosing "Install Package".
  
Actual results:
Very misleading error message.

Expected results:
Package is already installed.  Possibly mentioning if the version numbers are the same or different.

Robin is working on this bug now. I'll merge this into F9 as a backport when he's done. Nice to see another Surrey University student - I used to be ee21rh.uk!

This should be fixed in HEAD now, Richard.

Thanks Robin.
