Packagekit [solved]

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-20 12:22:48

there is a problem.

packagekit is orphan, and gnome-packagekit require it.

Why is that a problem?

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-20 14:45:10

because packagekit 0.6.10 have a bug that make it not work on my system and noone update it.

chris-kun · 2011-01-20 15:55:48

so go update it?

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-20 16:16:09

i don't know how to do it.

How about you look at the PKGBUILD from ABS (refer to the wiki for more info) and just change the parts needed?

Loose_Control · 2011-01-21 00:45:40

well i dont really get the problem^^

Packagekit 0.6.11: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44681

and read BlackEagle's comment...

Use this aur package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44681
build with makepkg -s as always. as result you should have five different packages, of which you must install two: the actual packagekit and either one of the backends (pacman is default in config)

that would be something like this:

pacman -U packagekit-0.6.11-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz packagekit-backend-pacman-0.6.11-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-21 11:20:24

Which files are you talking about? Basically just follow instructions from here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AU … g_packages
If makepkg -s in is succesful, the package files should be in the same directory you just ran makepkg

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-21 13:50:40

maybe I've understand, but this packagekit-split is a RARE package that contain other package like a metapackage?

What do you mean by RARE, and why do you need packagekit if you have pacman?

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-21 15:28:48

for the same reason i need gnome, firefox, rhythmbox... GUI.

yeah maybe. Its the first one I've encountered. But don't let it confuse you. Just install packagekit and pacman backend and you should be fine

venky80 · 2011-01-21 16:02:45

who develops the pacman backend for packagekit?

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-21 16:50:24

I hope in future I can install it with yaourt or better with pacman without make all these weird thing...

You should rather hope that you get comfortable with makepkg. Helpers are nice, but if you RELY on them its like needing a guide-dog to see, however good he is you're still blind.

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-23 17:30:21

I shouldn't need makepkg.

Oh you are so going to regret trying to use a distro like Arch with such an attitude...

I'm sorry, but if you don't want to use terminal apps or compile a package from time to time, you should really look out for another distro.

fabioamd87 · 2011-01-23 23:01:47

why? I like having rolling applications

ANOKNUSA · 2011-01-24 00:22:23

Because you just expressed a distaste for one of the foundations of Arch's package management system. Saying you shouldn't have to know what you're doing with the package management tools--and that someone else should do that work for you--is to directly attack the nature and spirit of Arch. This community doesn't exist to cater to you.

i didn't say that... I'm sorry that a software important like packagekit isn't in extra...
