These confirm what Ed and Samuel say about apper and Software being dependent on PackageKit. The problem is that now it looks to me like apper and Software cannot be used to find to find tools and apps without also checking for updates. Am I correct? How do I make these tools useful for searching without them checking for updates?
I don't think you can.
Several times this year, while doing weekly patches (dnf upgrade --refresh), a little window slid down from the top of the display (where date and time are shown) indicating a problem. When I looked at the details, it was a crash or abort of PackageKit. I clicked the button in the problem reporter to submit a bug on this. The problem had already been reported by many other people. I believe the main bug is #1480846 (see "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1480846";, comment 68). Despite these problems, the patches did seem to complete successfully. So I'm not really clear on what you mean when you say that dnf does not depend on PackageKit.
You have the dependency backward. PackageKit uses libdnf. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
