Hello! (I hope I selected the right category for this bug) PackageKit-Version: 0.4.1-GIT I tried to install an local DEB-Package with the Python PackageKit backend and got the following error: >>> pk.install_files(0,'/tmp/package.deb') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 364, in install_files exit_handler) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 447, in _run_transaction return trans.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 162, in run polkit_auth_wrapper(self._method, *self._args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 461, in polkit_auth_wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/connection.py", line 622, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "InstallFiles" with signature "is" on interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" doesn't exist This error also affects the search_file method: >>> pk.search_file('libqt4intf.so',FILTER_NONE) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 259, in search_file exit_handler) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 447, in _run_transaction return trans.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 162, in run polkit_auth_wrapper(self._method, *self._args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 461, in polkit_auth_wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/connection.py", line 622, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "SearchFile" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" doesn't exist I think the Python-PackageKit backend is not up to date. Can anyone fix this bug?
commit 742a0ac7640bcf85cccefd7df4660579db990713 Author: Richard Hughes <richard@hughsie.com> Date: Thu Jan 8 13:56:44 2009 +0000 bugfix: fix the python client library for SearchDetails and SearchFile. Fixes fd#19426
>pk.install_files(0,'/tmp/package.deb') You need to pass in an array of files, in this case: pk.install_files(0,('/tmp/package.deb')) would probably work. We should add that check in the client library. Unfortunately I'm no python legend, so if you know how to do this please email the mailing list and you can work with the pthon python guys there. Thanks.
Thank you for the information and sorry for that stupid question! As you see on my question, I'm not an Python-expert, but I will do my best to improve the Python interface. (I hadn't looked at the source-code of client.py to find the right argument...) If I find something what I can do I'll write it to the Python-Mailinglist.
Oh no, the same again! With the new patches, search_file works for me, but install_files throws the same errors: (Python interactive test-shell) >>> from packagekit.client import * >>> pk = PackageKitClient() >>> pk.install_files(0,('/tmp/xpack_2.0.0.68-1_i386.deb')) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 364, in install_files exit_handler) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 447, in _run_transaction return trans.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 162, in run polkit_auth_wrapper(self._method, *self._args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/client.py", line 461, in polkit_auth_wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/connection.py", line 622, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "InstallFiles" with signature "is" on interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" doesn't exist pk.install_files(0,['/tmp/xpack_2.0.0.68-1_i386.deb']) doesn't work also. You said "array", but there is no "array" datatype in Python. Must I pass an array-Object to the method? Sorry for the confusion ;-)
Well, it seems to be fixed now! Thank you!
