SUMMARY Discover offers me to remove a package I want to install. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Tell Discover to open the package code-1.62.3-1637137194.el7.x86_64.rpm. OBSERVED RESULT Discover allows me to remove the package. EXPECTED RESULT Discover should let me install the page. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211117 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
WORKAROUND { pkcon install-local "${p}"; }
Works for me. Can you attach a screenshot that shows the issue or error? Also where did you get this package from?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > Works for me. Can you attach a screenshot that shows the issue or error? You probably did not have a previous version installed. I had used Discover to install the previous version and it had worked. > Also where did you get this package from? See URL!
That's just the suspicious-looking download link. Where did you find that link? And where can I get an older version of the package as well to test this?

I still have the package code-1.62.2-1636665099.el7.x86_64.rpm but you would have to Skype me to get it because I do not know how to torrent things.
Also, some potentially misleading info: even when a package is locally installed, zypper keeps a copy in its cache. It seems that Discover cannot really figure out what the version of a local package is (it certainly does not display it in the UI); it must have figured out that the package is already installed, so the only thing it can do is to uninstall it. This is my wild hypothesis, so to say. I told Discover to uninstall it (twice) and the result was the same. The uninstaller process ran for a long time (the main part of it was updating the desktop DB). After the first uninstall, Discover still claimed the package was installed even though it was not, so I told Discover to uninstall it for a 2nd time. It did not help.
Not sure if it is relevant but when the package was uninstalled the zypper cache of it was still there.
OK, so let me see if I understand. 1. You manually installed "code-1.62.2-1636665099" from a file 2. You later manually installed "code-1.62.3-1637137194" from another file 3. Discover asked you if you wanted to remove "code" Is that correct? If so, this might be fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/208. If you have the ability to test merge requests (see https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/GitLab#Testing_someone_else.27s_Merge_Request), could you try it out and see if it helps? Otherwise I'll need for you to post the link to code-1.62.2-1636665099 somewhere so I can test.

That URL took me to a Skype conversation. Can you post the file somewhere?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #10) > That URL took me to a Skype conversation. Can you post the file somewhere? I can upload the package via Skype.
Can you put it somewhere else, maybe?

I have a package that contains a file <URL: file:///srv/www/htdocs/index.html >. [!] Discover offers to remove the package even though it is not installed. Removing the package results in an internal error toast. This behaviour repeats. Notes: 1. the file <URL: file:///srv/www/htdocs/index.html > exists on my system but it does not belong to any package. 2. pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted mysteriously fails with a critical error (after an attempt to install the package). 3. zypp history does not mention anything except for PK_TMP_DIR manipulations. 4. pkcon install-local /var/tmp/build-root/home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/http-dell-site-0-0.noarch.rpm 5. zypper in fails with Signature verification failed [6-File is unsigned]. I ignored the warning and the package installed all right. I understand that all this background has nothing to do with Discover. The problem with Discover is marked [!].
Can you maybe attach a screen recording that shows the problem? I'm having a hard time understanding what it is.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #17) > Can you maybe attach a screen recording that shows the problem? I'm having a > hard time understanding what it is. Discover opens a Red Hat package that I have just built. It is a brand new package that has never existed before. The package replaces an existing file under /srv. The file did not belong to any package. Discover offers a button to uninstall the new package. So the video is: open the package, observe the [Delete] button active in Discover.
OK, thanks. I wonder if this could be a bug in PackageKit itself.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #19) > OK, thanks. I wonder if this could be a bug in PackageKit itself. I consider that a fact, considering how `pkcon` is unable to handle the situation or even attempt to diagnose it. I hope you will report it upstream (since the observable behaviour of `pkcon` does not directly correspond to the API calls emitted by Discover).
A distro example: I cannot update libffi8-3.4.3-1.1 to 3.4.3-2.1 (downloaded and opened in Discover). plasma-discover[25858]: could not find an executable desktop file for

I believe you, I just can't reproduce it myself.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #23) > I believe you, I just can't reproduce it myself. InstallApplicationButton declares that action is a read-only; this probably means that the label cannot be changed while the application page is open. When you open a local package that is installed, Discover offers to uninstall the package. So far, so good. It does not offer to update the package because it does not know it can. So what. You can uninstall and install, right? So you uninstall and the action text does not change. So you think that uninstall failed and you press the action button once more. But this time the application gets installed. And everybody is confused, as requested XD
