Good idea, I've applied this:
commit f806edeb3049056f021fb746146fddea2a71dd31

Reget the list of updates in the update viewer if we installed infrastructure packages. Fixes rh#589045
Note: We only get the new list if there is no pending restart of
the infrastructure packages.
Could you possibly test the gnome-packagekit package here http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/fedora/13/SRPMS/ and report your results? Thanks.
Richard.
There is some strange things going on. Usually PK updated its status whenever I did anything with yum. But now I'm in a situation where yum tells me there are packages available for update, but whenever I start gpk-update-viewer it tells me that all software is up to date. So no, I haven't been able to test the new package so far ... I managed to test gnome-packagekit-2.31.1-0.1252.20100511git - here are some comments from my be-evil-and-critical-and-notice-all-issues-and-try-to-report-them-in-a-constructive-way testing. I had downgraded rpm-cron and yum showed that there also was other updates (and also a dependency-installation), but PK didn't notice that. It downloads something when the gui starts, but I don't know what and apparently it isn't used? After a reboot (and a night to timeout - I don't know which of them made a change) the icon showed "There is 1 update available" and gpk-update-viewer downloaded stuff and found the pending updates. I think that users should be shown all the updates they are missing - don't give false impression that for example only one update to rpm is pending. An admin can choose to postpone an rpm update, but the hidden next step might show an import remote-exploitable update to a network service. Perhaps the message could be something like "There is 9 updates available - giving priority to 1 infrastructure update". However, I would expect the applet and gpk-update-viewer to distinguish between the updates it am aware of and the packages it wants to install first. The notification icon should tell me about all the updates, and the list of updates should show all updates - both infrastructure and those with lower priorities. Priority to infrastructure packages should only apply if the user have chosen to install them (or through dependencies). It should be possible for users with specific needs to bypass the infrastructure priority. As it is now gpk-update-viewer shows a "Other updates are held back" message at the bottom. I would like to see something like described above, but as it is now please consider emphasizing it more; put it highlighted in the top of the window or in the list of packages - and in the applet tooltip. After update of the infrastructure packages I got a list of packages, but all the entries were duplicated - see the attached screenshot. Except for the duplicates it was fine. As tracked on 583122 installing (the last of) these pending updates with yum did _not_ make the star go away, and clicking it still showed the now outdated updates. Trying to install them gave the "could not do simulate" message. gnome-packagekit-2.31.1-0.1252.20100511git.fc13.i686 PackageKit-0.6.4-1.fc13.i686 PackageKit-yum-0.6.4-1.fc13.i686 PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.6.4-1.fc13.i686 yum-3.2.27-4.fc13.noarch Created attachment 414234 [details]
duplicated entries in update view
Still happening with the latest updates? This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
