Description mattias.ohlsson 2012-10-05 20:03:20 UTC

I cant use gpk-update-viewer (gnome-packagekit-3.4.2-1.fc17.i686) in my Fedora 17 based OS. Everything else works (yum, YumEx and Add/Remove Software).

It works if I build my OS and use fedora-release (rpm repo and release files) instead of iprediaos-release. 
It does not work if I build Fedora 17 (fedora-livecd-desktop.ks) and include iprediaos-release instead of fedora-release.
