Plugin Proposal: Give ABRT the ability to, when a crash is detected, use packagekit to search updates-testing for any new possible fixes or updates and base for rolling back to the previously installed version. Given Fedora is on the very edge of development and despite every effort that is made to ensure the quality of updates, bugs can get through. Having the ability to roll back to a previous version of a package, that may have just been updated, or search for a possible quick fix could help a user deal with issues caused by a broken update. Situation 1: An update has been released that breaks <application> and staff are complaining about an arbt problem. It'd be good if I could send out an email telling people to click a button to roll back the change. Situation 2: I'm new to Fedora and just updated my computer, now <application> isn't working, what do I do?? It'd be good if that spinning red light could help me fix the problem beyond reporting it. Situation 3: Going through the process of removing the updated package, changing packagekit to list all versions, installing the old working package is slightly long winded and not wholly intuitive for thousands of people to do.
git contains a new plugin which search bodhi for updates, so this bug is partly fixed. We can however add a packageKit plugin to search for updates (might help other distros which don't have bodhi)
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Probably not. https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2019/02/14/packagekit-is-dead-long-live-well-something-else/
