Description of problem:The 'Content' pane normally shows the result of 'rpm -ql' for the highlighted package. In fc10 it is empty. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):1.1-56.fc10@x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: This is the reply to my posting about this on the smart list From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Anders_F_Bj=F6rklund?= <afb> Subject: Re: smart-gui 'Content' tab empty in Fedora 10 Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:33:37 +0100 > Hi: I've just installed Fedora 10 and have the x86_64 release version of smart and smart-gui in the KDE desktop. I haven't found a config option to show the useful 'rpm -ql' info that I see in the Centos 5.2 version: the panel is always empty. The other tabs work as usual. Have I missed something? It's the newer RPM version, an old deprecated tag is now gone. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/smart/+bug/263762 for patch... --anders
It didn't at first occur to me that I could simply edit in the 6-line patch to the .py file and expect it to work: but it works-for-me :-) File is /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/header.py

I just installed 1.1-58.fc10@x86-64. The 'Content' tab is still empty. After making Comment #1 above I found that although the pane was no longer empty after editing in the suggested patch to 1.1-56, its content was _not_ always identical with that given by 'rpm -ql'. I reported this to Anders, but not elsewhere.
smart-1.1-58.0.1.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/smart-1.1-58.0.1.fc10
(In reply to comment #6) > I just installed 1.1-58.fc10@x86-64. The 'Content' tab is still empty. This was a bad build, please try 1.1-58.0.1.fc10. Thanks!
Downloaded and installed smart, smart-update, smart-gui 58.0.1 from the koji url. The patch (if it's this one) http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~afb/smart/sandbox/revision/936 still isn't here /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/header.py and the pane is still empty :-( Happy New Year!
OK, I thought this patch had made it into https://code.launchpad.net/~smartpm/smart/bugfix but I was wrong. So 1.1-58 will not fix it. I'll make another build, but I do want to get 1.1-58 out the door asap to fix all other issues.
OK, it's not a major issue, although it would be nice to have it back - and perhaps the 'Changelog' tab that Anders mentioned, too. I didn't try that. FYI, when I inserted the 'revision/936' patch as before, smart produced an error message and exited.
