Description of problem: When updates are available apper seems to check when the cache was refreshed. If the last check was more than a month ago apper advises: "it's strongly recommended that you check for new updates now" Pressing the button "Check for new updates" results in the same message. It looks like that here is a problem with the communication between apper and PackageKit or PackageKit and dbus. The following command always gives: qdbus --system org.freedesktop.PackageKit /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.PackageKit.GetTimeSinceAction refresh-cache 4294967295 (meaning not defined) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * apper-0.8.0-0.4.20120724git.fc18.x86_64 * PackageKit-0.8.3-1.fc18.x86_64 * dbus-1.6.0-2.fc18.x86_64 * yum-3.4.3-42.fc18.noarch How reproducible: nearly always. I've seen once that a new check succeeded Steps to Reproduce: 1. wait for updates 2. press "Apply" 3. the above message appears 4. press "Check for new Updates" 5. the above message appears (and see "How reproducible") Actual results: Updates will not be installed Expected results: Updates will be installed Additional info:
Pretty sure this is essentially a dup of bug #854209 and fixed by https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-13559/PackageKit-0.8.3-2.fc18
Hi Rex, You're absolutly right! PackageKit-0.8.3-2 has also solved this issue. Please close this report. Thanks, Martin Kho
Hi, Hmmm, the update went fine, but there is still something wrong. After the update apper gives the message: "Last check was more than a month ago. it's strongly recommended that you check for new updates now" and qdbus --system org.freedesktop.PackageKit /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.PackageKit.GetTimeSinceAction refresh-cache gives 4294967295 (meaning not defined) So please don't close this report.

Hi, ... and there was a kernel update that normally requires a reboot. No request though. Martin Kho
