Description Steven Roose 2015-06-09 21:50:52 UTC
I can't install system updates due to this bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install updates that contain packages with unsigned packages.
2. Answer yes, I want to install them anyway.
3. Enter root password


Actual Results:  
The prompt (step 2) comes again, loop between steps 2 and 3.

Expected Results:  
Apper installs the update including the unsigned packages.

This the exact prompt message

"You are about to install unsigned packages that can compromise your system, as it is impossible to verify if the software came from a trusted source.

Are you sure you want to proceed with the installation?"

This is what I get when using the DNF terminal app:

This fixed my issue, but still, there shouldn't be a loop in the UI. It should either refuse to install the package or do install it because the user consents to it.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/system/apper

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
