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.

Created attachment 1312995 [details]
application log

Description of problem:
"Startup Applications" cannot be installed through gnome-software.
I am not sure if package gnome-session-properties should be installable or totally removed from gnome-software database, since the package itself is deprecated and start-up applications could be managed through gnome-tweak-tool

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.22.7-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run gnome-software
2.Search for "Startup Applications"
3.Open found item and click install

Actual results:
Detailed errors from the package manager follow:
The package id's '' are not valid

Expected results:
Application should start installing and install successfully

Additional info:
output from gnome-software --verbose from moment when error has occurred (full log provided in attachment):

Comment 5 Arthur R. 2018-02-25 21:33:58 UTC
i believe its compiler could have had a missing byte hex code offset at line 45.  65 or 7.  

that offset as a dump i am unsure of.


also, its rpm maker may be out of space in swap and other related things in order to process the proper package.


just a theory.  we got to fix it.
