From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.7 sun4u) Description of problem: The default package manager program that is shipped with RH 8.0 doesn't show any RPM package that is not within the distribution or is not in the default categories. For instance, if you choose not to install NEdit or Wine during installation, and install then later, it does not show anywhere. There is no GUI to manage RPM packages! Where is GnoRPM or KPackage? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do not install a non distribution packege during RH 8.0 installation. 2. Install it later. 3. No mention of the program is shown. Actual Results: The package is installed, but you cannot see it listed. If you want to upgrade or even uninstall it, you have to do it manually in the console terminal. Expected Results: It should work with any RPM package, like the old GnoRPM and/or KPackage. Additional info: The same problem applies when you update a package.
This is known and an all packages view is planned for a future release
it doesn't show manually installed packages which are part of the distribution too. During install I didn't choose any development, but later I've manually installed the gcc and kernel-source packages later. They don't show up as installed in redhat-config-packages.
If I use the old GnoRPM or KPackage, will it work on redhat 8.0?
If possible, please enhance gnorpm instead of dropping it for the future release.
KPackage doesn't install on RH 8.0. I haven't tried GnoRPM.
I think KPackage should be put back in future releases.
since redhat tools always use gtk, and gnome is the preferred desktop, i'd prefer gnorpm instead of kpackage... please enhance gnorpm! (or write a better one...)
