GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 730454
Software Sources incorrectly claims no software is installed from particular repo
Last modified: 2015-05-12 13:24:15 UTC
Created attachment 276877 [details] Screenshot of issue I'm using the GNOME 3.12 copr on Fedora 20. I manually added a new repository for jitsi in /etc/yum.repos.d and ran 'sudo yum install jitsi'. I then opened GNOME Software and selected Software Sources from the app menu. I see both the copr repo and the jitsi repo listed; however, the Jitsi repo says "No software installed." This is not true: Jitsi is installed on my system and works fine. If I click on the repo, it takes me to a page that says "No software installed from this source." Presumably it claims no software is installed because jitsi does not ship an appdata file. This needs to be rephrased since it erroneously implies that there are no destructive consequences to removing this repository. I'm pleased with how the Update mode deals with system packages by lumping them into OS Updates, for example. [1] https://jitsi.org/Main/RPMRepository
I think the issue is that jitsi is neither an application or an addon. Can you get me the file list of the rpm that was installed please? Thanks.
Created attachment 277551 [details] Jitsi file list Probably the only portion of this list you're interested in is the top: /usr/bin/jitsi /usr/share/applications/jitsi.desktop There's no appdata file, but the desktop file ought to be sufficient for it to be considered an application, correct? What's really weird is that is does not appear in gnome-software or gpk-application when I search for it, but it does appear when I use 'pkcon search'. Should I file a different bug for that? (And regardless, if the software sources page warns that removing a repo will remove all software from that repo, it would need to show system packages so that the user knows what is going to be removed -- possibly condensed into one entry, just like the updates page does.)
