Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kpackagekit
I had to install both VirtualBox and Acrobat reader which come in isolated .deb files (I mean I didn't setup repos for them, just used the .debs downloaded from the sites with firefox). Opening them from the desktop spawned kpackagekit installer correctly, but both failed with a pretty generic error. Launching manually from a shell, I got this: pa...@lino:~$ kpackagekit Scrivania/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.2-46594_Ubuntu_jaunty_i386.deb isFIle pa...@lino:~$ New transaction with tid "/21_daedaaad_data" KPackageKit(5463) KpkIcons::actionIcon: action unrecognised: 9 enumFromString ( State ) : converted "" to "" , enum value -1 KPackageKit(5463) KpkTransaction::errorCode: errorCode: 3 "Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/daemonBackend.py", line 109, in run threading.Thread.run(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 477, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 168, in wrapper func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/packagekit/aptDBUSBackend.py", line 1263, in doInstallFiles if not deb.checkDeb(): File "/usr/lib/packagekit/debfile.py", line 365, in checkDeb if not self.checkConflicts(): File "/usr/lib/packagekit/debfile.py", line 313, in checkConflicts if self._checkConflictsOrGroup(or_group): File "/usr/lib/packagekit/debfile.py", line 197, in _checkConflictsOrGroup if self.pkgName == pkg.name: AttributeError: 'DebPackage' object has no attribute 'pkgName' " KPackageKit(5463) KpkTransaction::finished: Failed.
