Bug ID: 449260
Summary: Discover shouldn't be able to remove Discover.
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: ws....@outlook.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
While the user should be able to uninstall Discover using other tools, Discover
being able to nuke itself is putting too much faith on the user to not also
uninstall other important things.
To give an example: On my system(openSUSE Tumbleweed) it looks like I'm able to
use Discover to uninstall Konsole, the GUI Package Manager(YaST) and then
Discover itself. While this wouldn't make the system irreparable, it appears to
be quite of an oversight.
It allows the fabled "Average User" to put himself into a situation he can't
get out. It's just a disaster waiting to happen, and I can't help but think
that a user that knows what he is doing wouldn't use Discover for the job.
Also side note: putting it inside the installed page is just kinda confusing,
if Discover needs an "App page", it should be put as a link inside "about".
