Title:
  Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is a tracking bug to switch gnome-software from the Ubuntu-
  specific apt backend to the PackageKit backend used by other distros.
  In particular this is the backend used by Debian.

  To build, just uncomment the commented-out packagekit line in gnome-
  software's debian/rules and remove libapt-pkg-dev from Build-Depends.
  (You can also drop aptdaemon from Depends.)

  Changes
  ===
  - It fixes some annoying bugs lingering in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: LP: #1551599.

  - It may also allow us to drop sessioninstaller (LP: #1661371)

  - On an individual app page, Source is listed as something like
  'ubuntu-zesty-universe' or ubuntu-yakkety-updates-main' or 'lp-ppa-
  gnome3-team-gnome3-staging-yakkety-main' instead of just 'Ubuntu'

  - On an individual app page, apps from multiverse or restricted will
  show License as 'Proprietary' (example: VirtualBox or Devede ). This
  also happens for locally installed apps (i.e. not matching what's in
  your apt sources). I don't think it happens for PPAs since everything
  in a PPA is in 'main'.

  - If you install an app using GNOME Software (or I assume another
  PackageKit app), it lists the date it was last installed or updated on
  the individual app page with a link to see its update history. (But
  the problem here is that update-manager doesn't use PK nor does apt on
  the command line.)

  - Any update, no matter how small, is only permitted as an offline
  update. The button says "Restart & Install". It does seem to work fine
  though.

  - Another bug is that installing or Removing an app inside GNOME
  Software is enough for it to "forget" about available Updates and
  think that everything is "up to date".

  (It looks like gnome-software 3.24 will let us completely disable
  gnome-software's update mechanism and the Updates tab by default so
  these previous two differences may be irrelevant then.)

[Matthias Klumpp]

Regarding GStreamer:
Iain has made a patch for that: https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/pull/193 
- looks good to me, and will definitely be in the next PK release / the Debian 
packaging.

To the second point: Couldn't the PK plugin be extended to support live
updates by default if set as a compile-time switch?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1643134] Re: Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

[Robert Ancell]

Iain raised two issues via email:

There's two things I'm already aware of.

  - It came up last cycle that when PK is built, gnome-software claims
the PackageKit session interface on the bus. This is used for
example to install missing GStreamer codecs but it turned out to be
broken, so we disabled it. We should make sure to track that and get
it working. Not sure what will be needed - maybe some aptcc work.

  - I talked to Richard about this and he isn't interested in supporting
it - probably fairly - but maybe we want to turn off updates in the
PackageKit plugin as long as we have update-manager. I'm not sure it
was the best idea for us to support upgrades in the apt plugin, but
PK inside gnome-software doesn't do UPDATABLE_LIVE (online) updates
at the minute. It would be work to enable those and I think we might
want to punt on this until we get agreement to get rid of
update-manager, presumably not in this cycle. That conversation was
what led Richard to work on release EOL support inside
gnome-software though, which was nice. :)

[Robert Ancell]

commit 8ecc6713380cd6922adfc2892d8282891eedf3ec
Author: Robert Ancell 
Date:   Thu May 18 09:10:51 2017 +1200

packagekit: Don't explicitly disable PackageKit interactivity

We need interactivity for debconf prompts to install when installing .debs.
This is not most packages (i.e. not normally apps) but some dependencies can
trigger debconf prompts. If PackageKit is set to be non-interactive then
these packages never complete installation and the user is left confused.
The default PackageKit behaviour is to allow interactivity.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1643134] Re: Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

[Matthias Klumpp]

@jbicha: That was for Ubuntu's aptd GNOME Software backend, using Debconf with 
PackageKit is a little different (shouldn't be too hard to add, and I am rather 
confident that hughsie would even allow this feature upstream).
So, in Debian we'd need the PK version, as aptd is dead and removed from 
Debian. I did run a couple of tests with Debconf-using stuff and GNOME Software 
about a year ago, and the behavior then was that the questions didn't get asked 
but the transaction also wasn't blocked (as expected).
So, adding proper Debconf support to GS is "nice to have" at this point, but 
not essential at Debian.

Oh, with "essential" I mean RC-worthy or important-for-the-release. Long
term, we likely do want Debconf to work (I haven't had time to look into
it yet though, that's why I like that Robert apparently looks into it
now).

Matthias, are you aware that Ubuntu recently enabled debconf for gnome-

If it's not too hard to get that working with PackageKit, should that be

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1643134] Re: Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

[Matthias Klumpp]

Richard hates stuff asking questions during installation ;-) - that's *the* 
longest discussion we had, since PackageKit's inception: 
```
What is Hughsie's law?

A joke that started on IRC late one night in '07. Put formally it is: 
Authentication or license prompts can only be done before the transaction has 
started, and messages or notices about the transaction can only be shown after 
the transaction has completed. 
```
(no sure why this isn't on the PK FAQ anymore)

If the aptcc PackageKit backend receives a request to be noninteractive, it 
should set the Debconf frontent to `noninteractive` and disable everything that 
could potentially ask questions.
This should at least prevent the update process to hang on Debconf prompts.
I guess we could enable Debconf prompts for GS though (maybe make it 
configurable, so Fedora and other distros can be non-interactive by default), 
as apparently it seems to work okay at Ubuntu for the current aptd backend.

Title:
  Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This is a tracking bug to switch gnome-software from the Ubuntu-
  specific apt backend to the PackageKit backend used by other distros.
  In particular this is the backend used by Debian.

  To build, just uncomment the commented-out packagekit line in gnome-
  software's debian/rules and remove libapt-pkg-dev from Build-Depends.
  (You can also drop aptdaemon from Depends.)

  Changes
  ===
  - It fixes some annoying bugs lingering in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: LP: #1551599.

  - It may also allow us to drop sessioninstaller (LP: #1661371)

  - On an individual app page, Source is listed as something like
  'ubuntu-zesty-universe' or ubuntu-yakkety-updates-main' or 'lp-ppa-
  gnome3-team-gnome3-staging-yakkety-main' instead of just 'Ubuntu'

  - On an individual app page, apps from multiverse or restricted will
  show License as 'Proprietary' (example: VirtualBox or Devede ). This
  also happens for locally installed apps (i.e. not matching what's in
  your apt sources). I don't think it happens for PPAs since everything
  in a PPA is in 'main'.

  - If you install an app using GNOME Software (or I assume another
  PackageKit app), it lists the date it was last installed or updated on
  the individual app page with a link to see its update history. (But
  the problem here is that update-manager doesn't use PK nor does apt on
  the command line.)

  - Any update, no matter how small, is only permitted as an offline
  update. The button says "Restart & Install". It does seem to work fine
  though.

  - Another bug is that installing or Removing an app inside GNOME
  Software is enough for it to "forget" about available Updates and
  think that everything is "up to date".

  (It looks like gnome-software 3.24 will let us completely disable
  gnome-software's update mechanism and the Updates tab by default so
  these previous two differences may be irrelevant then.)

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1643134] Re: Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

[Robert Ancell]

Turns out that gnome-software has explicitly disabled interactivity in
the packagekit plugins, this is why the debconf doesn't work:

pk_client_set_interactive (PK_CLIENT (priv->task), FALSE);

I'll ask upstream why this is...

[Matthias Klumpp]

@robert-ancell: Awesome! You can probably just copy the Debconf bits from GNOME 
Software, tbh I am a bit surprised that this wasn't there before...
Might be worth fixing in Debian for the next release as well, or backporting at 
least.

Well, APT tells PackageKit about changes though, so it at least has information 
about the update state of a package.
I am not 100% sure whether the update history will fully work though (it's 
likely that it will be incomplete).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1643134] Re: Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

[Pojar Gheorghe–Ioan]

I confirm that work fine with totem.

gnome-software by default now pops up a Shell notification asking for
confirmation before launching the codec search.

Rhythmbox it necessary to make implementation to pass down necessary flags to 
supress the Shell notification in that case:
gst_install_plugins_context_set_confirm_search()
gst_install_plugins_context_set_startup_notification_id()
and
gst_install_plugins_context_set_desktop_id()

Without this implementation, rhythmbox doesn't show up a installer (e.g.
gnome-software) to search missing codecs.

Bug description:
  This is a tracking bug to switch gnome-software from the Ubuntu-
  specific apt backend to the PackageKit backend used by other distros.
  In particular this is the backend used by Debian.

  To build, just uncomment the commented-out packagekit line in gnome-
  software's debian/rules and remove libapt-pkg-dev from Build-Depends.
  (You can also drop aptdaemon from Depends.)

  Changes
  ===
  - It fixes some annoying bugs lingering in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: LP: #1551599 and 
LP: #1575426.

  - It may also allow us to drop sessioninstaller (LP: #1661371)

  - On an individual app page, Source is listed as something like
  'ubuntu-zesty-universe' or ubuntu-yakkety-updates-main' or 'lp-ppa-
  gnome3-team-gnome3-staging-yakkety-main' instead of just 'Ubuntu'

  - On an individual app page, apps from multiverse or restricted will
  show License as 'Proprietary' (example: VirtualBox or Devede ). This
  also happens for locally installed apps (i.e. not matching what's in
  your apt sources). I don't think it happens for PPAs since everything
  in a PPA is in 'main'.

  - If you install an app using GNOME Software (or I assume another
  PackageKit app), it lists the date it was last installed or updated on
  the individual app page with a link to see its update history.

  - Any update, no matter how small, is only permitted as an offline
  update. The button says "Restart & Install". It does seem to work fine
  though.

[Jeremy Bicha]

gnome-software with PackageKit enabled is now available for testing in this PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ubuntu/gnome-software/

If anyone wants to test the sessioninstaller replacement, uninstall
sessioninstaller, install gstreamer1.0-packagekit then follow the test
case at LP: #1661371

Matthias, I opened LP: #1673302 for the PK update.

That particular bug is staged in Git.

lying to me:
1.1.5-2 vs. 1.1.5-1ubuntu1

Matthias, thanks. Yes, I can't duplicate the install-list-shorter issue any 
more so I dropped it from the description now. zesty is in sync with stretch's 
packagekit except for
https://bugs.debian.org/852085

I tried gnome-software with PackageKit again today and it felt at least
as good as the 'apt' backend for me.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1643134] Re: Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

[Matthias Klumpp]

Sessioninstaller purely exists because of Aptdaemon - with Aptdaemon
gone, native PackageKit frontends like GNOME Software and Apper can
cover all of its functionality.

For the install-list-shorter issue, you might want to update to the
current PackageKit release in unstable/testing, which contains a bugfix
which might be related to this issue.

  - Any update, no matter how small, is only permitted as an offline
  update. The button says "Restart & Install". It does seem to work fine

  think that everything is "up to date".

Title:
  Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend

Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is a tracking bug to switch gnome-software from the Ubuntu-
  specific apt backend to the PackageKit backend used by other distros.
  In particular this

  Prequisite: packagekit 1.1.4

  To build, just uncomment the commented-out packagekit lines in gnome-
  software's debian/control.in and debian/rules and remove libapt-pkg-
  dev from Build-Depends.

  Changes
  ===
  - It fixes some annoying bugs lingering in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: bug 1551599 and 
bug 1575426 and this recent zesty regression: bug 1640741 .

  - On an individual app page, Source is listed as something like
  'ubuntu-zesty-universe' or ubuntu-yakkety-updates-main' or 'lp-ppa-
  gnome3-team-gnome3-staging-yakkety-main' instead of just 'Ubuntu'

  - On an individual app page, apps from multiverse or restricted will
  show License as 'Proprietary' (example: VirtualBox or Devede ). This
  also happens for locally installed apps (i.e. not matching what's in
  your apt sources). I don't think it happens for PPAs since everything
  in a PPA is in 'main'.

  - The Installed apps list is dramatically shorter. It looks like some
  sort of bug. If you search for a specific app you can still remove it.
  My already installed gnome-clocks app did not show in the list, but
  once I removed and installed it using gnome-software it then showed in
  the Installed list.

  - If you install an app using GNOME Software (or I assume another
  PackageKit app), it lists the date it was last installed or updated on
  the individual app page with a link to see its update history.

  - Any update, no matter how small, is only permitted as an offline
  update. The button says "Restart & Install". It does seem to work fine
  though.

  Software is enough for it to "forget" about available Updates and
