[SOLVED] packagekit multiple provider bug

Hi,

I found the following bug in Apper/Kpackagekit:

If there are more provider for a package, Apper does nothing after clicking apply changes, and the pacman lock is not freed.
For example installing eclipse, here we have 2 jdk providers:

:: There are 2-Provider for java-environment:
:: Repository extra
   1) jdk7-openjdk  2) openjdk6

So where can I report this bug? Kde bugs or pacman packagekit backend?

You should report it to the kpackagekit/apper devs.

Re: [SOLVED] packagekit multiple provider bug

So the pacman interface for kpackagekit is implemented by the Apper devs?
KDE bugs then... (i think)

Re: [SOLVED] packagekit multiple provider bug

i just tried installing eclipse with pkcon and it crashed and the lock file wasnt removed... so the bug is caused bei packagekit and not by Apper/Kpackagekit

ok, so it is a packagekit bug (nothing to do with kde)?

Re: [SOLVED] packagekit multiple provider bug

Even if it is in packagekit itself, it should also be reported to the apper devs anyway imo, in addition to the packagekit devs.

Re: [SOLVED] packagekit multiple provider bug

Reported here, since it is a backend-pacman bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44713

(though not very detailed bug report)
