Description of problem: When packagekit warns "The software is not from a trusted source." It does not tell you which package it is talking about. During an update which includes multiple packages you can not tell if it is talking about a 3rd party rpm which you know is from an untrusted source, or a system rpm which has been tampered with. The user will just click 'ok' and thus security is reduced. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-3.2.1-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Easily Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a 3rd party rpm repo 2. Wait 1 week (or untill an installed 3rd party rpm is updated) 3. Check for updates with package kit and observe information lacking in dialog Actual results: Expected results: I want to see the name of the package which is untrusted on the screen with the button to allow it in the default view. Additional info: Screenshot attached. The package listed in the dialog is the one which has popped up the dialog - not the package that is untrusted. So how can one make an informed decision?
Created attachment 581112 [details] screenshot showing 40+ packages to be installed, but not showing which is untrusted
This is driving me nuts today on Fedora 17. I'm not sure which package it's complaining about and I have no way to find out other than to use brute force, or use some other package tool. I'm using gnome-packagekit-3.4.2-1.fc17.i686.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
