Description of problem: The system-install-packages program does not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-0.1.11-1.fc9 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.yum remove -y hpijs || : 2.system-install-packages hpijs Actual results: Error dialog saying: Failed to install No such file '' Expected results: Package should be installed. Additional info: Worked fine in Fedora 8.
Right now system-install-packages is a symlink to gpk-install-file, but s-i-p can install files or packages What we need is a wrapper in our packaging that: - Checks if the arguments exist, if so does install-file - Otherwise does install-package - Dialogs if a mixture is specified I'll work on that today. (We should actually change things to use gpk-install-package directly, I think, in the long term.)
I've committed a wrapper script and the .spec file changes to package CVS. This can be closed when a package gets built and pushed.
Owen, you sure you committed it? - i can't see any such change in CVS/devel.
step 1: commit step 2: write the above comment step 3: notice that the commit failed with a conflict step 4: merge, kick off a local build to make sure that the merge was OK step 5: go off and do something else, forget about it Now actually commited.
I've built this for rawhide and F9.
