User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008111217 Fedora/3.0.4-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.4 When I want to use either 'gpk-update-icon' or 'gpk-application' to update/change the packages on my system, they crash with a dbus error. My system was fedora 8 updated with PreUpdater and yum to fedora 9. Update in terminal with yum still works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use 'gpk-update-icon' or 'gpk-application' Actual Results: both crash with a dbus error: arguments to dbus_set_error() were incorrect, assertion "(error) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((error))" failed in file dbus-errors.c line 363. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Expected Results: 'gpk-update-icon' should update my system and 'gpk-application' should install/remove the choosen packages on my system. I don't know if it's security related bug. For me I can update with yum (even this is not that confortable), but for other users it could arise a security problem if they miss to update the system.

Created attachment 326848 [details] latest gpk-application crash report This is the latest crash report, after yesterdays 'PackageKit' update. Still the same issue!!!
Can you please describe what you were doing with your system, and provide the version of PackageKit you are using. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #5) > Can you please describe what you were doing with your system, and provide the > version of PackageKit you are using. Thanks. I hope I'm understanding your question correct. I use this system as desktop OS on my laptop. The problem occurs always when I try to use either 'gpk-update-icon' or 'gpk-application' to update my system or install a package. The PackageKit is 0.3.12-1.fc9@i386 all other somehow related packages are the same version except gnome-packagekit is 0.3.12-3.fc9@i386. By the way I had another issue here probably related; I tried to change date/time settings by clicking on the clock displaying in panel. Then I was forced to authenticate through fingerprint reader (that I'm using) after that nothing else happened, so this didn't work too. I'm writing this because I'm also forced to authenticate by fingerprint reader before the bug occurs.
I don't think PolicyKit works very well in F9 with the fingerprint reader.
(In reply to comment #7) > I don't think PolicyKit works very well in F9 with the fingerprint reader. Did you mean 'PackageKit'?! So far I had no problems with fingerprint reader, even gnome screensaver worked well. But everything is possible... What to do then? Any work-a-round? Any test? ...or is the only way to remove the reader completely for all configs?! By the way: I upgraded to f10 in the meantime - the problem is still the same (as suggested by other bugs here, e.g. bug 475068, bug 475200).

Parrish - KDE Triage Master > - PackageKit Triager > Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Yes: Till yesterday this was still an issue. Then I decided to upgrade to f11, now the problems disappeared. I was able to use 'gpk-application' to deinstall and then reinstall again 'wormux'. Since then I installed and removed some other packages also with this interface, so it seams to work now! But I was not able to test 'gpk-update-icon' yet. Many thanks to f11; this release rules (upgrade worked like a charm and also the fingerprint reader setup was very easy...) -> very nice bunch of code! :)
I thought upgrading might fix it. F10 had the 0.3.x family of Packagekit which is no longer supported. Going to close this as WORKSFORME. Please feel free to reopen if the problem returns. -- Steven M. Parrish - KDE Triage Master - PackageKit Triager Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
