dnf commands don't cause signals in packagekit

[purpleidea]

running dnf erase powertop
and monitoring signals in packagekit:

gdbus monitor --system --dest org.freedesktop.PackageKit --object-path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit 

shows no UpdateChanged signal. It does show up if you use pkcon remove. Note that install is independently broken in #109

Thanks!

This actually works for me using (the recently released) 1.1.0 -- can you try that please? Packages are available for f23 and f24 in koji.

[purpleidea]

That's great to hear, will this trickle down into F23, or will it only be available in F24? Messing with koji and PackageKit sounds like it will be a bad day.

[hughsie]

It'll be updated in f23 on the next stable release, which is by default once every 2 months.

For reference, if anyone is interested, i've committed my work so far to git master: purpleidea/mgmt@3b5678d

More to come!

@hughsie FYI: This doesn't work for me on F24 with PackageKit 1.1.3 ... Should it? (Sorry about my delay in following up!)

[purpleidea]

I can confirm that this is still an issue in F28. Both with sudo dnf erase powertop and sudo dnf install powertop. No signals are seen :(
