Opening a rpm file via nautilus causes "Sorry, something went wrong" error in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
Issue
- When I tried to open a rpm file with double-click on
Files
, which is the file manager onGNOME
, therpm
installation onGUI
failed with "Sorry, something went wrong". - The following errors were output on
/var/log/messages
.
gnome-software-service.desktop: XX:XX:XX:XXXX Gs failed to call gs_plugin_file_to_app on packagekit-local: failed to get files local: GetFilesLocal not supported by backend
gnome-software-service.desktop: XX:XX:XX:XXXX Gs failed to convert to GsApp: no application was created for /root/XXXXXX.rpm
- This happens with a third party
rpm
file only. - The installation with
yum
command works without any problem.
