Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 447162
All the packages displayed in Other
Last modified: 2008-05-30 22:17:39 EDT
Description of problem: When I run `gpk-application' only the category `Other' contains all of the installed+available packages. Other categories (such as `Office') are empty. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-0.1.12-10.20080505.fc9.x86_64 yum-3.2.14-10.fc9.noarch gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9.x86_64 (updated Fedora 9, system is being upgraded since Fedora Core 1 or so.) How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `Add/Remove Software'. 2. Click `Office'. 3. Wait. 4. Wait. Actual results: No results were found Expected results: Packages like OpenOffice.org. Additional info: It was fixed by doing: yum install yum-list-data yum list-groups # which downloaded: comps-f9.xml | 1.3 MB 00:32 comps.xml | 12 kB 00:00 Fedora-9-comps.xml.gz | 311 kB 00:08 Fedora-9-comps.xml.gz | 311 kB 00:22 comps-f9.xml | 1.3 MB 00:32 and since that moment `gpk-application' now displays the groups correctly. But sure this comps download should have happened automatically.
PackageKit-0.1.12-13.20080522.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9
Is this still a problem?
It now reports: The group was not found comps categories could not be loaded I am sure my grandfather running Fedora will not be able to fix it himself. I expected he will be able to install there some Games from Fedora Everything. In fact I spent some time to find `yum list-groups' myself for this Comment 0 and well I am running Red Hat since its version 4.x. PackageKit is there IMO to make the package management user friendly. I still rather use rpm (or unfortunately yum) myself as I find the commandline more convenient. But I would like to make Fedora accessible for the end-users. Sure thanks for the update but I still do not find this Bug to be solved.
>Sure thanks for the update but I still do not find this Bug to be solved. Right, but now we know what the problem is. cats = self.yumbase.comps.categories if len(cats) == 0: self.error(ERROR_GROUP_LIST_INVALID,'comps categories could not be loaded') Robin, would it be possible to refresh the comps list at this stage?
