[Bug 401151] Re: packagekit and packagekit-backend-smart fail to use/see Ubuntu's repos.
I think this bug can be closed now as it now seems to be a smartpm problem and therefore the duplicate of this remain open. ** Changed in: packagekit (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- packagekit and packagekit-backend-smart fail to use/see Ubuntu's repos. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 401151] Re: packagekit and packagekit-backend-smart fail to use/see Ubuntu's repos.
Ok so i the reason it wasnt finding anything is because Packagekit wasnt set to use Smart in /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf. This should really be documented in the FAQ or something. I only picked up on this after researching in Google and it popped from a old openSUSE or Mandriva forum thread. It seems like Update System is working. Havent got any errors but i also dont think there have been any updates. Im using Jaunty at the moment to test this. As for Add/Remove, the lists are there on the left hand side and everything appears correct until i try to search for a package. Then i get this error: An internal system error has occurred: Error Type: Error Value: 'rpm' python module is not available File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/smart/smartBackend.py, line 1312, in main() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/smart/smartBackend.py, line 1309, in main backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 600, in dispatcher self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 567, in dispatch_command self.search_name(options, searchterms) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/smart/smartBackend.py, line 49, in cache_wrap result = func(obj, *args, **kwargs) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/smart/smartBackend.py, line 459, in search_name self._show_package_list() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/smart/smartBackend.py, line 1037, in _show_package_list self._show_package(package, status) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/smart/smartBackend.py, line 1075, in _show_package self.package(self._package_id(package, loader), status, summary) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/smart/smartBackend.py, line 1040, in _package_id name, version, arch = self._splitpackage(package) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/smart/smartBackend.py, line 946, in _splitpackage from smart.backends.rpm.base import RPMPackage File : /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/smart/backends/rpm/base.py, line 42, in raise Error, _("'rpm' python module is not available") I have no idea why its asking for 'rpm' stuff? -- packagekit and packagekit-backend-smart fail to use/see Ubuntu's repos. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The developemnt of the smart backend is currently on stale. For daily use you should use the apt backend. -- packagekit and packagekit-backend-smart fail to use/see Ubuntu's repos. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If i open PK add/remove and try using the search i get an error "The search could not be completed" underneath that is a message "Running the transaction failed" and under details is "cannot start daemon: cannot GetTid: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1" Under the 'System' tab i only have 'Quit'. Under the 'Filters' tab i have nothing. Using Software Update, it just says checking for updates no matter how long you leave it. There is no progressbar or nothing else happening within the GUI. -- packagekit and packagekit-backend-smart fail to use/see Ubuntu's repos. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
