You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am on Ubuntu Utopic (14.10) and want to do the following, preferably with a Python script.
I want to install a printer driver package from Epson (which is available as both DEB and RPM) through its apt or yum repository so that future updates get installed automatically through the distro's update mechanism. I also want to assure by means of a key fingerprint that repository and package are really from Epson. The package name for example is epson-inkjet-printer-escpr The key fingerprint is E5220FB7014D0FBDA50DFC2BE5E86C008AA65D56 and the Debian package repository is deb http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/ lsb3.2 main This data is polled from OpenPrinting: https://www.openprinting.org/query.cgi?moreinfo=1&showprinterid=1&onlynewestdriverpackages=0&architectures=amd64&noobsoletes=1&onlyfree=0&onlymanufacturer=0&onlydownload=1&packagesystem=deb&onlysigneddriverpackages=0&format=xml&type=drivers&printer=MFG:EPSON;MDL :EP-801A%20Series;DES:EPSON%20EP-801A%20Series;CLS:PRINTER; You can replace the packagesystem=deb in the URL by packagesystem=rpm for RPM-based distros. Now I run a script of system-config-printer, /usr/share/system-config-printer/install-printerdriver.py via the command install-printerdriver 'epson-inkjet-printer-escpr' 'deb http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/ lsb3.2 main' 'E5220FB7014D0FBDA50DFC2BE5E86C008AA65D56' Or by pasting the commands at the python prompt: till@till-twist:~/ubuntu/system-config-printer/test$ python3 Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct 8 2014, 13:08:17) [GCC 4.9.1] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from gi.repository import GLib, PackageKitGlib >>> import sys >>> def progress(progress, type, user_data): ... pass ... >>> pk = PackageKitGlib.Client() >>> repo = 'deb http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/ lsb3.2 main' >>> res = pk.repo_enable(repo, True, None, progress, None) And I get Could not found the repositorie And if I do pkcon repo-enable 'deb http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/ lsb3.2 main' I get the same error. I tried also with other repositories, even ones which are already added to the system and always get this error. How do I add a repository with PackageKit? till@till-twist:~/ubuntu/system-config-printer/test$ pkcon backend-details Name: aptcc Description: APTcc Author: Daniel Nicoletti <dantt...@gmail.com> till@till-twist:~/ubuntu/system-config-printer/test$ Another problem is installing the signature. Formerly >>> repo_gpg_id = "E5220FB7014D0FBDA50DFC2BE5E86C008AA65D56" >>> res = pk.install_signature(PackageKitGlib.SigTypeEnum.GPG, repo_gpg_id, '', None, progress, None) >>> worked (note the empty string for the package ID). Now a package ID is required, and to obtain it I have to add the repository, but is it not a security problem to already add the repository if the signature is not yet installed? This all still worked on Trusty (14.04). Is there a problem with the Python bindings of the client (perhaps due to Python3)? Or is perhaps the D-Bus service (aptdaemon on Ubuntu) at fault? ** Affects: packagekit (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: New -- Adding repository via PackageKit D-Bus interface does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397374 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to packagekit in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
