Description Drew Ogle 2010-09-16 15:11:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

Cannot install a servicepack, either through double clicking in nautilus or using the pkcon console tool.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.5.7-2

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create servicepack. I did pkgenpack tomboy.
2. Run pkcon install-local <<SERVICEPACK>>
3. pkcon freezes, and no work is done on the daemon side.
  
Actual results:

service pack does not install, daemon stops working

Expected results:

service pack installation terminates, daemon is happy.

It's hanging in pk_service_pack_check_valid(). Investigating now.

    Don't call back into the daemon (from the daemon) when checking service packs. Fixes rh#634628
    
    This fixes a deadlock when the user tries to install a service pack.

Could you try rebuilding and installing http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/fedora/13/SRPMS/PackageKit-0.6.9-0.1510.20100916git.fc14.src.rpm please. Thanks.
Comment 3 Drew Ogle 2010-09-20 01:57:26 UTC 
I will give that a try tomorrow, thanks Richard.
Comment 4 Drew Ogle 2010-09-20 15:49:54 UTC 
Richard; I can't do a --recompile on f12 due to it wanting gtk3-devel, and I assume the checkin in from your private repo, as I don't see it on fdo .. could you possibly give me a patch against the latest f12 version?
Comment 5 Drew Ogle 2010-09-22 14:30:50 UTC 
Richard:

I modified the spec, to remove the gobject-instrospection and gtk3-devel, and got rpms which I installed.

They successfully installed 2 servicepacks.
