RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
Cannot install downloaded RPM files from *Nautilus* The *yum* backend to *PackageKit* does not support getting details about local files. As a consequence, when an RPM file is double clicked in the *Nautilus* file manger, the file is not installed, and the following error message is returned: Sorry, this did not work, File is not supported To work around this problem, either install the _gnome-packagekit_ package to handle the double-click action, or manually install the files using the *yum* utility.

> GetFilesLocal not supported by backend

Ahh, so yum doesn't support this. Note, in RHEL 7 we're still using yum, as in the "exec /usr/bin/yum and scrape stdout" kind of thing. I don't think we want to fix this, it would be a lot of work.
