RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Cole Robinson 2011-03-23 17:30:54 UTC
InstallPackageNames uses the default dbus timeout of 25s, which seems pretty low for depsolving, prompting user for dep install, auth, and actually installing the packages. For example, virt-manager offers to install 'libvirt' and 'qemu' which doesn't seem possible in less than 25 seconds (we now manually set the timeout higher).

I spoke to Richard on IRC, he indicated this is probably a bug:

Mar 23 11:45:40 <hughsie>>......crobinso, i've not looked at the python bindings in months, but the timeout should really be above 25 sconds

This can be easily triggered using the example python code in the PackageKit faq: http://www.packagekit.org/pk-faq.html#session-methods

Manually trying to set the timeout to -1 doesn't seem to work either and just uses the default 25 second timeout. Not sure if it has any relation
