With abiword installed 'gpk-install-package' gives: Failed to install package The package could not be found on the system (Also, this would be better as: The package 'abiword' could not be found on the system if the package actually couldn't be found)
I've fixed this in git properly, we now just need to decide what to backport to the GNOME_PACKAGEKIT_0_1 branch.
I'm seeing the same dialog but when trying to install a new package from firefox or cmdline. $ gpk-install-package /path/to/package.rpm +------------------------------------------------ | Failed to install package | The package could not be found on the system +------------------------------------------------
This is fixed upstream in change 3a6f1b06be02c6fd67b6f5abcee0c60631d2d69b, and should be in the next release.
