Description Stephan Binner 2009-08-07 10:39:49 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090730 SUSE/3.5.2-1.1 Firefox/3.5.2

M5 DVD GNOME installation, calling "Install Software" in the main menu fails with a popup "Failed to install a package to provide a file. You need to specify a file to install".

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2009-08-07 10:44:20 UTC

This is package-manager.desktop, which comes from libzypp.

Comment 2 Robert E. 2009-08-07 20:17:02 UTC

I can confirm the problem on the 11.2M5 LiveCD with German language settings.

Comment 3 Rastislav Krupansky 2009-08-11 19:53:00 UTC

I can confirm also exactly the same issue in Gnome from LiveCD.

Comment 5 Jan Kupec 2009-08-12 09:09:15 UTC

Rasto, Stephan, can you check what process did the .desktop file start? Probably /usr/bin/gpk-install-local-file the-package.rpm, but let's check.

Comment 6 Rastislav Krupansky 2009-08-12 15:03:43 UTC

yes, but without the-package.rpm

output ps aux | less

output ps aux | grep '.rpm'

Comment 7 Jan Kupec 2009-08-12 15:08:59 UTC

Thanx! That look like the packagekit app indeed did not receive the path to the file to install. Martin, any idea why, or who should fix it?

Duncan used a command that *requires* an argument, whereas the desktop file can call it without one. I am sure there is a PK UI to be invoked instead.

Still in m6. Moving to it.

Comment 11 Michael Andres 2009-08-31 13:28:39 UTC

Fixed in 6.13.3

If no packages are passed on the commandline it starts 'yast2 --install' instead
of kpackagekit/gpk-install-local-file.
