Created attachment 1325503 [details] system messages during dnfdragora crash Description of problem: After upgrading to Fedora 26 using gnome-software, the package tool called "dnfdragora" has been installed. After trying to use it to update the system, it crashed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 26 dnfdragora-gui-1.0.1-5.git20170505.2a3b056.fc26.noarch dnfdragora-1.0.1-5.git20170505.2a3b056.fc26.noarch How reproducible: Not sure. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click dragora icon in tray area and select "Update" option. 2. Check all items in list (assuming they're all updates) and start the update process by clicking "Apply". 3. Observe window disappear. Actual results: The new Fedora updater crashes. Expected results: The new Fedora updater should work. Additional info: The Why not keep gnome-software, apper or gpk-update-viewer if dnfdragora is not ready yet? There are three nice graphical update tools (and power users may use dnf on the command line); if there's a new one, it should at least work reliably. This is the line logged to dmesg: dnfdragora-upda[1975]: segfault at c8 ip 00007f0b576f386f sp 00007ffd43cc31c0 error 4 in _yui.so[7f0b57679000+157000] An excerpt from /var/log/messages is attached.

Side note: dnfdragora has not been installed deliberately. After upgrading to Fedora 26, its icon was shown in the tray area. So it was installed automatically during the upgrade process. Apparently, dnfdragora is a replacement for yumex/yumex-dnf. Those are still installed: # rpm -qa | grep yumex yumex-dnf-4.3.3-4.1.fc26.noarch yumex-3.0.17-2.fc23.noarch The old tool called "yumex" fails with this error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from virtualbox: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. ... [Errno -1] repomd.xml signature could not be verified for virtualbox The newer yumex-dnf fails with this error (dnf not running at the time): dnf is locked by another process
Created attachment 1327937 [details] dnfdragora not working (meaningless error) I thought I'd give dnfdragora another shot. I had previously used apper to update the system, because I didn't want to risk ending up with a broken system if dnfdragora crashes during the process. After apper finished installing updates ("Your system is up to date"), the dnfdragora window I had open still showed the old list of updates, so I opened the tray menu and clicked "Check for updates", thinking that it would then check for updates. Unfortunately, nothing happened and it kept showing that obsolete list of updates. That might be another bug. Then, I clicked "Check all" and "Apply", just to see what happens when a user tells dnfdragora to install updates, not knowing that these updates are already installed. Please see the attached screenshot for what happened next: A window appeared (titled "BuildTransaction failure", btw. that scares non-admin users), showing "[]" as error message. And the context menu consists of two blank entries. What is it that the program is trying to tell me? This tool appears way to immature to act as a replacement for apper or gnome-software. Keeping the system up to date is not something that only skilled admins do. Keeping the system up to date is one of the most important features of the operating system. It's very bad to replace such a tool with something incomplete that doesn't work properly.

Created attachment 1523147 [details] dnfdragora window not updating Just a quick note. I don't think it makes sense to reopen the bug ticket because of this. I thought I'd give dnfdragora another chance, to see if it still crashes. Well, right-click, update didn't do anything, so I opened the window, clicked Apply and boom, I got a notification about a Python exception. However, it kept running - although the window looks partially frozen and it's not getting updated. See the attached screenshot. I got this output during the update process (if it's actually updating anything - the window doesn't tell me): # rpm -qa | grep dragor dnfdragora-1.1.1-1.fc29.noarch dnfdragora-1.0.1-13.git20180108.b0e8a66.fc29.noarch dnfdragora-updater-1.0.1-13.git20180108.b0e8a66.fc29.noarch
