The RPM PackageKit-cron-0.2.5-1.fc9 is broken and doesn't work, when you enable "/etc/cron.daily/packagekit-background.cron" in "/etc/sysconfig/packagekit-background" than "/etc/cron.daily/packagekit-background.cron" tries to run the command "pkcon update-system" but the output is: -------------------- Option 'update-system' not supported Command failed -------------------- This are the commands which "pkcon" understands: -------------------------------- Usage: pkcon [OPTION...] PackageKit Console Program PackageKit Console Interface Subcommands: get-actions get-groups get-filters get-transactions get-time search [name|details|group|file] [data] install [packages|files] remove [package] update <package> refresh resolve [package] get-updates get-depends [package] get-requires [package] get-details [package] get-files [package] get-update-detail [package] get-packages repo-list repo-enable [repo_id] repo-disable [repo_id] repo-set-data [repo_id] [parameter] [value]; what-provides [search] Help Options: -?, --help Show help options Application Options: -v, --verbose Show extra debugging information --version Show the program version and exit --filter Set the filter, e.g. installed -n, --nowait Exit without waiting for actions to complete -------------------------------- It looks like "pkcon" doesn't understand the command "update-system". Btw. to me it looks like "PackageKit-cron" - if it works - could be a replacement for the RPM "yum-cron", is this correct?
Can you try the PackageKit in updates-testing please.
I did and now I get the message: --------------- Attempting to obtain authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update. polkit-grant-helper: it only makes sense to run polkit-grant-helper as non-root Failed to obtain authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update. You don't have the necessary privileges for this operation --------------- So it looks like that the command pkcon update from /etc/cron.daily/packagekit-background.cron runs but there are some permission problems but actually the cron job runs as root... Btw. would it possible to use the "pkcon" command to update only security relevant RPMs? The way the "yum-security" plugin does it?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
