Description Vladimir Benes 2011-03-09 15:39:45 UTC

Description of problem:
after opening gnome-packagekit and inserting supplementary disk I can see it in sources and can enable/disable it but I'm unable to see packages unless I restart whole app which is really confusing. We should really fix this as it's annoying.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-packagekit-2.28.3-3.el6.i686

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.open gnome-packagekit
2.insert supplementary disk and wait for mount
3.install package from supp disk
  
Actual results:
impossible w/o app restart

Expected results:
should be possible immediately

Additional info:
I think I saw the same wrong behaviour at first initiation as there were  no packages but after refresh and downloading whole app had to be restarted to show all categories and packages. IMHO there should be at least some warning or auto restart performed.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-06 00:44:56 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

In this case we should really make the group list watch for the ReposChanged signal.
