Description of problem: A race condition between packagekitd and gpk-application appears and makes both getting stuck while waiting for each other. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-0.3.9-8.fc10.i386 How reproducible: sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login 2. Start gpk-application immediately after login 3. Try to install something. I choose a groupinstall of lxde-desktop Actual results: gpk-application gets stuck waiting for other tasks endlessly. gpk-update-icon says: Getting repository information (Waiting for other tasks) Installing LXDE Desktop (Waiting for other tasks) Reloading package cache (Waiting for other tasks) gpk-update-icon's tooltip says: Waiting for other tasks Waiting for other tasks: installing lxde-desktop Waiting for other tasks (not sure if I translated these messages correctly) Expected results: Should do one task after the other Additional info: I waited for 3 hours and nothing happend. No network traffic, so obviously it's not getting any repository information or anything else. Also no cpu usage.
Can you try the PackageKit in updates-testing please.
I'd like to, but it crashes: $ gpk-application TI:15:52:16 TH:0x8c693f0 FI:gpk-common.c FN:gpk_window_set_size_request,60 - using small form factor mode as 800x600 and requested 1000x500 Traceback: gpk-application [0x80592fb] gpk-application [0x806dde7] gpk-application [0x80546e5] /lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_type_create_instance+0x453) [0xd60793] /lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 [0xd44965] /lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_object_newv+0x376) [0xd45196] /lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_object_new_valist+0x2b7) [0xd45d67] /lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_object_new+0x6e) [0xd45ede] gpk-application [0x80502de] gpk-application [0x804fdc5] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xa636d5] gpk-application [0x804faf1] I have found out that the problem I described has nothing to do with a race condition but the groupinstall simply does not work. With a normal install process I can't reproduce the problem, so I'm closing this bug now and open a proper one for the other problems.
I'm building http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=965965 with that fix. Thanks.
