38.0-2 is the current f28 version, does that work?
(In reply to Gwyn Ciesla from comment #1) > 38.0-2 is the current f28 version, does that work? I got the same error with 38.0-2. Although I am testing it again in a VM now.
Using fedora 28 atomic workstation 20180922 I am only getting deja-dup version 37.1 It was a fresh install and the only layered rpm is deja-dup. I am still seeing the error, but maybe there is some dependency holding deja-dup back @ 37.1?
I wanted to report that Silverblue 29 still only installs version 37.1
Fedora Silverblue 29 is now seeing deja-dup 38.1, however the error... Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PackageKit: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) Still occurs..
This was discussed in https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/issues-with-packagekit/1027. Notably: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/issues-with-packagekit/1027/20: > DejaDup could be modified to just (1) not start PackageKit if all the needed packages are installed, and (2) if there are missing packages, just error out with the list if PackageKit fails to come up (Though note I might have misread the codebase in my quick perusal! :))
