kpackagekit: malformed D-Bus introspection data

Sounds like a PackageKit error. I don't have any PackageKit service, only PackageKit.Application and PackageKit.UpdateIcon in my session. On my system bus I do get a PackageKit service. No error occur in parsing the introspect data.

This seems to happen to me only under kde with kpackagekit.
I can confirm that it has something to do with kpackagekit. It seems to be a bug in kpackagekitsmarticon that provides 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit' service. However, it returns bad introspection file that expat fails to parse (doc namespace) - probably missing namespace definition: <node name="/" xmlns:doc="http://www.freedesktop.org/dbus/1.0/doc.dtd"> gnome-packagekit provides clean introspection, though. See introspection files generated by: qdbus --session org.freedesktop.PackageKit /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect both for gnome-packagekit (gpk-dbus-service) and kpackagekit (kpackagekitsmarticon).

Seems like a namespace issue. This should be filed upstream with kpackagekit unless it crashes D-Feet. Does it it cause D-Feet to stop working or does D-Feet just continue without showing introspection data for kpackagekit?
D-Feet continues to work normally. The only issue is that abrt catches the error (from comment #1) and indicates a crash and kpackagekit data are not available, of course. I checked kpackagekit upstream and the namespace definition is there: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/sysadmin/kpackagekit/SmartIcon/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.xml?revision=1055286&view=markup I hope it will get to Fedora soon.
Reassigning to kpackagekit. Fix is upstream. Please patch or upgrade kpackagekit in Fedora 13
That commit is 9 months old and already in the 0.6.0 release we're shipping in F13, so it cannot be the fix. (And by the way, 0.6.1 is already queued for testing.)
(It's already in testing and sitting there for a week, actually. But there's nothing that changed with respect to that XML file between 0.6.0 and 0.6.1.)
I've tested kpackagekit-0.6.1-1.fc13.x86_64. There is no change against kpackagekit-0.6.0-2.fc13.x86_64 in respect to the introspection. qdbus org.freedesktop.PackageKit /org/freedesktop/PackageKit Introspect produces the same output as in comment #7. Note there is <node> tag without arguments (name and xmlns:doc namespace) It is probably a bug in qdbusxml2cpp (or some other component), because qdbusxml2cpp generates adaptor class that *doesn't* have any <node> tag in introspection data. Then an empty <node> is included when introspection is required.
Problem is still here on F-14.
This is still the case with kpackagekit-0.6.3.3-1.fc14.x86_64. The following was what I had drafted and intended to put up as a new bug, but then I found that it already were reported here: Trying to add an network ipp printer with system-config-printer fails. Server -> New -> Printer, fill inn hostname and path. Pressing the Verify button results in "This print share is accessible." So far everything is working ok. But when pressing Forward, KPackageKit starts searching for a driver but fails shortly after with "Could not find printer driver in any configured software source" and on standard output the following is printed: ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.31:/org/freedesktop/PackageKit: dbus.exceptions.IntrospectionParserException: Error parsing introspect data: <class 'xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError'>: unbound prefix: line 5, column 4 Debugging with strace and capturing all strings I can assemble the whole XML content (attached as dbus-communication.xml.orig), the first 10 lines are <!DOCTYPE node PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Object Introspection 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/introspect.dtd"> <node> <interface name="org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Modify"> <doc:doc> <doc:description> <doc:para> The interface used for modifying the package database. </doc:para> </doc:description> Running xmllint on this file, it complains about all the "doc:" prefixes. dbus-communication.xml.orig:5: namespace error : Namespace prefix doc on doc is not defined <doc:doc> ^ And while searching around I find that it seems that the name space should have been present, like -<node> +<node xmlns:doc="http://www.freedesktop.org/dbus/1.0/doc.dtd"> and with this change xmllint is happy. I tried to find out where and how to add but I am now giving up trying to fix it myself and instead report it.
Works fine with kpackagekit-0.6.3.3-2.fc15. Closing.
