Description of problem: Plasma Discover is unable to show package dependencies because it reports that the DNF packageKit plugin does not support the DependsOn operation. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open KDE Discover in a terminal (`plasma-discover`) 2. Navigate to an app provided by the Fedora repos Actual results: The button in the UI to display the app's dependencies is not visible, and there is an error in the console output: Transaction error: "DependsOn not supported by backend" PackageKit::Transaction(0x47a91e0) Expected results: Discover is able to show the app's dependencies because the DNF PackageKit plugin supports the DependsOn operation Additional info: This works in openSUSE Tumbleweed with the Zypper PackageKit plugin, so I know that the feature is not simply broken in Discover.
Yeah, this is why we haven't updated to discover 5.22 yet, need this feature in place first. Thanks for documenting it
FWIW there shouldn't be any great harm in shipping Discover 5.22 even without this feature in the PK plugin. It just means that the package dependencies feature will be missing--but the UI degrades gracefully and simply doesn't show the button to invoke it.
Ok, I'll test again, last we'd tried, discover crashed.
I'm building it from source daily and I don't see any crashes, but my build process may be different from the way it's done in the packaging. I'm just using kdesrc-build.
Implementation is in progress: https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/pull/495
