This is a actually a problem in desktop-data-openSUSE which provides package-manager.desktop. libzypp which used to provide the /usr/bin/package-manager script removed it back in December: Wed Dec 4 12:54:30 UTC 2013 - jreidinger@suse.com - Drop package-manager script as it is already deprecated and packagekit usage in desktop invalidates it. If someone really need it, then place it to proper top level package which can decide what GUI is proper for given task desktop-data-openSUSE wasn't updated accordingly. The above rationale is not really correct since only the KDE and GNOME desktops actually have packagekit frontends. The package-manager script basically called 'xdg-su /sbin/yast2 --install "$@"' but since that is also deprecated it doesn't make sense to replace it with that, so the most sensible solution is to call xdg-su -c '/sbin/yast2 sw_single'. sw_single doesn't have a CLI so the desktop file cannot work as a MIME handler for local rpms any more but at least the menu shortcut in the Xfce/LXDE can be retained this way. Fix for the desktop-data-openSUSE repo: https://gitorious.org/opensuse/desktop-data/merge_requests/4 *** Bug 861742 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 884875 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Could that patch please be applied to desktop-data? Not sure I like the NotShowIn=KDE though, IMO the yast2 package manager is MUCH better than the KDE one, I prefer to use yast2 sw_single. I always forget that Install/Remove software doesn't work, and always click on that menu entry until I remember that I have to launch yast first. Fixed. |
