Description Michael Catanzaro 2015-09-29 23:29:05 UTC
GNOME Software is completely broken in my fresh install of Fedora 23 beta. Attempting to install anything fails with the error "Sorry, this did not work. Installation of <whatever> failed." A typical error message (only visible when running from a terminal) is:

(org.gnome.Software:3197): Gs-WARNING **: failed to install sound-juicer.desktop: Failed to find sound-juicer;3.16.1-1.fc22;x86_64;fedora

So... yeah, probably just outdated metadata, but we really need to prevent this from happening....

P.S. pkcon returns the same error
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2015-09-30 02:35:49 UTC
Er, I think I might have accidentally installed Fedora 23 Alpha instead :D so maybe you've got this fixed already, then?

Nope, still broken in F23 final TC11. Can't install anything.

It needs a PackageKit-cached-metadata update before the final release.
Comment 5 Kalev Lember 2015-10-21 08:27:28 UTC
OK, this should be now fixed in http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11520222 and newer image builds. We are now generating the metadata cache directly during the image compose and the PackageKit-cached-metadata package (which had the tendency to not get updated very often) is going away.
