Bug ID: 412273
Summary: notifier should warn about broken systems (packagekit)
Product: Discover
Version: 5.16.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: sit...@kde.org
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
AFAICT transactions can exit with PK_EXIT_ENUM_REPAIR_REQUIRED which is to
indicate that the system is in a bad state and needs repair (RepairSystem
transaction).
The notifier (and probably also the main application) should handle this state
and throw up notifications about this with a button to trigger a repair
attempt.
Repair required can for example happen when packages failed to install and now
the system is in a half-working state with half the packages being installed
and the others blocked on a failed dependency. etc.
It's entirely unclear how well this state is communicated from the PK backends,
but supposedly if they are not communicating this properly they need fixing as
well.
