Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux I use a few unsigned packages from alternate repos. However, whenever packages from these repos require updating, apper seems to get stuck in the following loop: 1. Progress bar displays "Waiting for service to start" (0%) 2. "Installing unsigned software" warning dialog pops up 3. I hit "Yes" 4. Progress bar moves to "Checking for libraries currently in use" 5. Progress bar moves to "Running task" (0%) 6. Return to Step 1 (If there aren't any other packages to be updated, it pretty much skips directly from Step 3 back to Step 1) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have unsigned packages awaiting update 2. Try to use Apper to update them Actual Results: The interaction loop described in the Details section Expected Results: All packages updated after I hit "Yes" in the warning dialog The simple workaround is to use the command line whenever unsigned packages need updating: "sudo yum upgrade"
Hi, I've seen a difference between unsigned updates (via apper update icon) and unsigned new packages. (1) In case of updates I also get the above error (missing authorisation dialog). (2) When installing a new package I first get a dialog telling that I need 'root' permissions, then I get the message that the package is unsigned. After pressing the 'Yes' button an 'auhtorisation dialog for untrusted sources' pops up and I can install the new package. Btw: In Fedora 17 (aka Rawhide) all packages are unsigned. Martin Kho
I guess this is fixed in the git version, can you please try since openSUSE reported a similar bug..

Hi Daniel, Now that I'm 'using' Fedora rawhide (aka fc18) - packages are not signed - I can confirm that this issue is solved, at least for me. Thanks for the great work! Martin Kho
