I'm trying to install Mozilla Thunderbird via the Software Management tool without success. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
After choosing to install Mozilla Thunderbird, the password of the root account is asked so as to proceed with he installation. After that a dialog appear for me to accept the software signature. After that, a above the progress bar, the message "Waiting for service to start" appears, and it stays like that forever. 

Actual Results:  
The application I wanted to install, was not installed

Expected Results:  
It should have installed the application.

Rex, I do not know which package manager Fedora uses.
Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2011-12-05 15:39:47 UTC 
apper

I suspect it's a problem with initial import of rpm gpg keys.
Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2011-12-05 15:40:37 UTC 
A quick-n-dirty workaround is to run (as root):  'yum update' once which will prompt to import keys, then apper will be happier again.

I can't recall the commits but this was fixed with some other things EULA, Rex Dieter has tested and Apper from git now works.
I'll soon make a new release.
Thanks.
