https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/proposed- migration/noble/update_excuses.html#packagekit says that packagekit depends on apt for the noble update, but I think this does not apply here and I see no packagekit failures under that apt package.
In any case, I quickly tested installing the updated packagekit packages from noble-proposed on a noble system without also updating apt from proposed, and there were no obvious problems. And the test plan was also executed in the comment above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to packagekit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2086773 Title: pkcon does not ask debconf questions in Wayland Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in packagekit source package in Jammy: Fix Released Status in packagekit source package in Noble: Fix Released Status in packagekit source package in Oracular: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] `pkcon` is configured to launch the Gtk debconf helper to ask debconf questions graphically. This works in Xorg desktop sessions, but does not work in Wayland desktop sessions. That is because it starts the Gtk program with a blank environment and only adds the DISPLAY environment variable, but not WAYLAND_DISPLAY nor XAUTHORITY which would at least have allowed it to display over XWayland. This is fixed by exposing the WAYLAND_DISPLAY and/or XAUTHORITY environment variables to the Gtk program. [ Test Case ] 1. Log-in to a Wayland desktop session 2. Download `noisy-fake-driver_0.6_amd64.deb` from the attachments. 3. Run `pkcon install-local ~/Downloads/noisy-fake-driver_0.6_amd64.deb` 4. Complete the installation 5. Verify that you saw the "Do you see this message?" question [ Where problems could occur ] It's fair to assume that the graphical debconf helper hasn't received much testing recently, with `apt` defaulting to the text-base helper and `pkcon` failing to show it in Wayland; so it's possible that it doesn't work well.
