They should be. KPackageKit is an embarrasment. I always have to give a disclaimer on it when recommending openSUSE to a client.
Can you nicely summarize your problems with it? Apper is a rename and update of KPackageKit so it likely shares some of them.
On 11.4 users reported all kinds of problems with it. * Failure to install local rpms (when clicking them in Dolphin, error related to tmp files or plaindir repo, can't quite remember) * Reporting patches, saying it installed them, then 10 minutes later it would notify about the exact same patches again and fail to install them once again and so forth. * It would crash, and therefore check for updates every 5-10 minutes, instead of once per day as configured. * Taking ~15 minutes to build a cache or something Actually it would be easier to list the things that _did_ work smoothly with KPK on 11.4, than the ones which didn't (of course it's totally unclear to me if the failures should be blamed on KPK, PK or PK-zypp or d-bus.. or any of the other layers upon layers involved in the stack). However in my testing of KPK on 12.1beta it seemed to be able to install both local rpms and patches pretty smoothly, so if Apper is even better, that sounds great. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
