Description Ariel 2015-11-09 01:33:12 UTC
Description of problem:

Gnome-Software fails to install any software - it shows an error message instead of installing.

DNF can install software with no issues.

This is on a recently-upgraded Fedora 23 (upgraded from Fedora 22, where gnome-software was working fine)

I saw some similar reports in "Ask Fedora". 

Log below. I noticed in the log output that gnome-software seems to be trying to install Fedora 22 packages instead of F23. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select any non-installed software in Gnome-Software
2.Click Install
3.Window pops up saying "Sorry, this didn't work" 

Actual results:
Error message pops up, and some errors show in Journal (see below)


Expected results:
app should be installed


Additional info:

Output of journalctl -r (note the inverted order)

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2016-01-08 10:21:24 UTC
What's the console message if you do:

killall gnome-software
gnome-software --verbose

and then try to install an application? Thanks.

Comment 2 Ariel 2016-01-08 17:39:21 UTC
Now it works, with or without --verbose.  Can't reproduce the issue.
Not sure what changed in the interim.
Thanks for following up.
