Just to be clear, there are bugs in all apps, including packagkit and apper.
you dont'say...
Yet blaming apper by default (as it was done here and has become a common habit on forums by people like Carlos) is completely useless. It hinders bugfixing and it demotivates devs that are not at fault etc. The only useful approach is to help people debugging and that way find out where the bug is acutally at. That's why I asked to try zypper patch instead of zypper up in order to make sure it is actually a packagekit or apper bug.
if any of the dev.s who are working on this would comment here and say something like: "hey guys, we need help fixing this apper situation, please install it, run it through strace (or whatever), and help us figure out what goes wrong...," that would probably motivate me. since i don't want to use it, i'm not automatically motivated. you telling me it's my duty to help debug every application under the sun, even though i don't care for them, including apper, doesn't motivate me either. if i see somebody is in trouble and i could help them, i'd probably want to do so. but for all i know apper/packagekit/zypp has been forgotten or given up on by it's developers. that's at least what it looks like, without inside information. unless i learn something different, i won't use it, and won't recommend to others to do so. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
