issues with packagekit
Hello everyone!
I am having some issues with packagekit. I downloaded the 0.5.4 version and compiled it (btw it told me i needed cppunit and there was no mention of it on the dependencies in the web site, but that is not the problem). I only set the prefix in the ./configure to /usr and nothing else. As i am working on Nova (Gentoo based) it told me that the available backend was portage (which is fine for now, yet i have rpm installed also... ¿should it not be able to use some other backend?) make && make install worked smoothly, yet, when i try to run packagekitd
darion-laptop darion # packagekitd --daemonize --verbose
TI:15:40:43.271 FI:../../src/egg-debug.c FN:egg_debug_init,314
- Verbose debugging 1 (on console 1)PK_VERBOSE
later on i try pkcon and this is what i get
darion-laptop darion # pkcon
Failed to contact PackageKit: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
is there something wrong? do i need to do something i am not doing? Is there documentation anywhere about it?
I would like to add that we (the Nova crew) are planning our next version (for late 2010) to use rpm and packagekit for the package management system. These issues I describe above are related to the study we are currently developing in that order.
Greetings,
