Description Richard Z. 2010-02-20 12:20:51 UTC

Description of problem:

I have added rpmfusion using "rpm -ihv http://....". yum and yumex work fine with the extra repo.

Synaptic fails to see the extra repo. As a result if an unsuspecting user hits "reload package information", "mark all updates" and perform actions he is likely to suffer significant breakage - synaptic will remove all "extra" packages it does not know about (at least) when they confilct with an update.

I was not sure whether to mark it is synaptic or apt problem, maybe its not really a bug but it is very unpleasant behaviour at the least.

yum and apt use different configuration files.
yum uses /etc/yum.repos.d/
apt uses /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
RPMFusion's *-release rpm ships only the configuration files for yum.
(Actually, I see they also have rpmfusion-*-package-config-smart
for the Smart tool, but nothing for apt.)
You can discuss it with RPMFusion.

thanks for looking - that is https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137
which is also there since a while.
