Description of problem: Kpackagekit do not work, if system was installed without any additional packages. When Kpackagekit is started and any action is made (check updates, for example), it says: "A problem that we were not expecting has occurred. Please report this bug with the error description. Details The backend exited unexpectedly. This is a serious error as the spawned backend did not complete the pending transaction." But "yum update" with root privileges works perfectly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kpackagekit-0.6.3.3-2.fc15.i686 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 15 from minimal cd, remove any components, so only very base system will be installed. 2. Set "group_package_types=mandatory" in /etc/yum.conf 3. Install "X Window System", "KDE Software Compilation", kdm, kpackagekit. 4. Set up runlevel (ln -s ...graphical.target ....default) 5. Add normal user. 6. Reboot, login and start kpackagekit from menu. Actual results: Kpackagekit can't update, install or remove packages. Expected results: Kpackagekit must update, install and remove packages as like as on full-installation-version of Fedora. Additional info:
What's the full output from: sudo /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py get-updates none Richard
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py", line 55, in <module> import gio ImportError: No module named gio That's all. So reason is module gio.
Installation of pygobject2 fixes it. But shouldn't PackageKit be in hard dependency of pygobject2?
Yes, it's a missing dependency in the PackageKit package. Reassigning.
PackageKit Requires: PackageKik-backend PackageKit-yum Provides: PackageKit-backend and PackageKit-yum Requires: pygobject2 So, reporter, is PackageKit-yum installed or not? or perhaps did you have PackageKit-zif instead?
Nevermind, if /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py existed to run, PackageKit-yum was indeed installed. Strange how that could have happened without pygobject2 dependency being satisfied.

No, i have no PackageKit-zif installed. Here is my anaconda-ks.cfg, install.log and yum.log. Did you try to reproduce this bug by my steps?
This is the transaction which installed KPackageKit: Aug 01 21:09:57 Installed: libarchive-2.8.4-3.fc15.i686 Aug 01 21:09:58 Installed: comps-extras-20-2.fc15.noarch Aug 01 21:09:58 Installed: PackageKit-yum-0.6.16-1.fc15.i686 Aug 01 21:10:01 Installed: PackageKit-0.6.16-1.fc15.i686 Aug 01 21:10:02 Installed: PackageKit-glib-0.6.16-1.fc15.i686 Aug 01 21:10:02 Installed: PackageKit-qt-0.6.16-1.fc15.i686 Aug 01 21:10:04 Installed: kpackagekit-0.6.3.3-2.fc15.i686 Aug 01 21:10:05 Installed: ntpdate-4.2.6p3-4.fc15.i686 PackageKit-yum got dragged in, pygobject2 didn't. But I see this is PackageKit-0.6.16-1.fc15. The current stable update is 0.6.17-1.fc15, and the diff between the 2 versions includes: +# python(gio) +Requires: pygobject2 So this is already fixed, just "yum update".
