Topic

An updated gnome-packagekit package that fixes four bugs is now available.

Description

gnome-packagekit provides session applications for the PackageKit API.

Bugs fixed in the updated package include:

  • If a package adds or removes a .repo file while updates are being

installed, PackageKit (packagekitd) sends a RepoListChanged() message. If
Software Update (/usr/bin/gpk-update-viewer) was being used to install
these updates it responded to the message by attempting to refresh the
available updates list. This resulted in said list going blank. As of this
update, gpk-update-viewer ignores such signals from packagekitd, leaving
the available updates list visible and unchanged. (BZ#744980)

  • When a 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux instance had both 32-bit and

64-bit versions of a package installed, and an update for both packages was
available and presented in the Software Update (/usr/bin/gpk-update-viewer)
window, the summary and package name appeared for both architectures.
Package size and the errata note only presented for the 32-bit version,
however. For the 64-bit version, the size column remained blank. And, when
the 64-bit version was selected in Software list, the display pane below
presented a ‘Loading...’ message rather than the errata note. With this
update, gpk-update-viewer seeks out the exact package ID before falling
back to the package name, ensuring both package versions are found and
associated meta-data displayed when more than one package architecture is
installed. (BZ#744906)

  • When an application is installed using the Add/Remove Software interface

(/usr/bin/gpk-application), a dialogue box appears immediately post-install
offering a Run button. Clicking this button launches the newly-installed
program. Previously, under some circumstances, an improperly assigned
pointer value meant clicking this Run button caused gpk-application to
crash (segfault). With this update, the pointer is correctly assigned and
gpk-application no longer crashes when launching a newly-installed
application. (BZ#694793)

  • Previously, it was possible for an ordinary user to shutdown their system

or log-out from a session while the PackageKit update tool was running.
Depending on the transaction PackageKit was engaged in when the shutdown or
logout was initiated, this could damage the RPM database and, consequently,
damage the system. With this update, when ordinary users attempting to
shutdown or log out while PackageKit is running an update, PackageKit
inhibits the process and presents the user with an alert:

A transaction that cannot be interrupted is running.

Note: this update does not prevent a root user (or other user with
equivalent administrative privileges) from shutting the system down or
logging an ordinary user out of their session. (BZ#669798)

All PackageKit users should install this update which resolves these
issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
