Public bug reported: Im using Ubuntu 64 9.10 Karmic and installed Packagekit(0.4.8) from repos and also installed Packagekit-backend-smart. I removed the apt backend to PK to test PK with Smart but now im unable to use it. Add/Remove and Update Manager just does nothing. Software Sources is also unusable and has a checkbox which cannot be checked and next to it, it says "Getting Software Source list not support by backend".
So it seems this somehow fails to see Ubuntu's repos. If i type 'smart channel --show' in terminal i receive this output: :~$ smart channel --show [aptsync-b0cd2166b27f09fc797a258b25bc51c2] type = apt-deb name = karmic-updates - universe baseurl = http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ distribution = karmic-updates components = universe keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [aptsync-c21c3d011919d7c7b9dcfad335d519ec] type = apt-deb name = karmic-updates - main restricted baseurl = http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ distribution = karmic-updates components = main restricted keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [aptsync-273a1fe109f2deab30c6ab4e53d60748] type = apt-deb name = karmic-security - universe baseurl = http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu distribution = karmic-security components = universe keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [aptsync-d0239b096af126e9d180e3c4ef69e180] type = apt-deb name = karmic-updates - multiverse baseurl = http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ distribution = karmic-updates components = multiverse keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [aptsync-763e18353b4553c9b14c1ed99098881c] type = apt-deb name = karmic-security - main restricted baseurl = http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu distribution = karmic-security components = main restricted keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [aptsync-3b89bcd64fbd20120f35d3f807f2c3ce] type = apt-deb name = karmic - universe baseurl = http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ distribution = karmic components = universe keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [aptsync-420771c558fb9ba5e49c0bde087abef0] type = apt-deb name = karmic - multiverse baseurl = http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ distribution = karmic components = multiverse keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [aptsync-7f824e110d4205bfb4ef192f71a2a2f4] type = apt-deb name = karmic-security - multiverse baseurl = http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu distribution = karmic-security components = multiverse keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [deb-sys] type = deb-sys name = DEB System [aptsync-0b0c134e7a17d497a8f004a0ace05c15] type = apt-deb name = karmic - main restricted baseurl = http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ distribution = karmic components = main restricted keyring = /etc/apt/trusted.gpg So im leaning toward this issue being a packagekit-backend-smart one. ?? ** Affects: packagekit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- packagekit and packagekit-backend-smart fail to use/see Ubuntu's repos. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
