apper in Alpha TC5 F21

[Ed Greshko]

Installed KDE to disk from the Live CD.

Using apper to check for updates results in a pop up of....

"A problem that we were not expecting has occurred....."
"The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service file"

Installing "PackageKit" fixes the problem. 

Don't see a bugzilla for it, but maybe it is already known?

So, apper requires 'PackageKit-qt', which sounds sane, but
'PackageKit-qt' doesn't require PackageKit. Looks like that's already

OK.....  I only searched F21 and Rawhide since I couldn't believe it was an old issue.

Either that, or apper should require PackageKit directly -- IIRC there
was some push a few releases ago to be able to install the client
libraries and not the daemon for people that wanted nothing to do with
PackageKit; depends on how much we care about those people :)

Welp, I asked rdieter and he said it looked like a no-brainer, so I went
ahead and 'fixed' it. Does apper work for package installation/removal
without PackageKit installed? And can you remove apper without KDE going
away?

Pretty sure the answer to those are (should be!): no, yes, respectively.

so, it seems pretty pointless to support having PackageKit-Qt around
without PackageKit, right? I think it's fine to just make sure apper
lifts out, for people who want to yank PackageKit.

This is a me too post. :-)

In one machine that I have updated using dnf I get the same (pesky) warning. Pesky because
to get to the pop up you need to go to an empty desktop to be able to close it as it seems
to be present in all (virtual) desktop but behind all the open windows.

Note that it happens even without me checking apper, although possibly the check for
updates is the culprit.

Although I am not able to verify now I suspect that at some point in time I have removed
PackageKit from the system.
