Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 601594
Unsigned updates can't be installed
Last modified: 2010-09-14 08:34:46 EDT
Description of problem: In rawhide it's not uncommon that updates are not signed. kpackagekit won't let the user install them. Authentication missing? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kpackagekit-0.6.0-2.fc13.x86_64 PackageKit-0.6.5-1.fc14.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select updates and press Apply button (a command board appears in the systray stating: "An untrusted package is installed. The package <package name> from rawhide is untrusted") 2. Press Continue button in the additional packages dialog (a message appears stating: "You are about to install unsigned packages can compromise your system, as it is impossible to verify if the software came from a trusted source. Are you sure you want to continue installation?") 3. Press Yes-button (a dialog appears stating that kpackagekit is "Waiting for service to start") The service (?) will never start. Actual results: Unsigned packages can't be installed Expected results: Unsigned packages can be installed (after authentication?) Additional info:
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Hi, kpackagekit 0.6.1 solves this issue. I suppose that this report can be closed. Thanks for the nice work! It seems that kpackagekit is on it's way back :-) Martin Kho
