No Package List

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008043010 Fedora/3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5 Description of problem: I can't seem to get a complete package list using gpk-application. It will query the system and then return NO results. I need a tool that works like system-config-packages. I need to be able to look at all the packages in a group complete with descriptions. I need to be able to do easy global searches on filename/description/package name (at the same time!). At this point, I am finding PackageKit completely unusable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-0.1.12-10.20080505.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gpk-application 2. Click on a category 3. Actual Results: No results were found. Expected Results: A list of all the packages in the selected group. Additional info:
Can you give an example of how you want to query PackageKit? How did you used to do it in yum/pirut?
I upgraded to the PackageKit / gnome-packagekit that is in the devel tree. It seems to fix most of my complaints. I read that you will push out that version when it is stable. The sooner the better on that ... :-(
I think the system-config-packages by default would search all names, descriptions, etc. It might be worthwhile to add a search option to do all 3 as well as each individual search type.
Right, 0.2.3 should hit F9 in a few days.
