Listaller Manager hangs at:"detecting package..."

Need to investigate...

Could you please attach the output of the "pkmon" command?

(Install package "packagekit", then open two Terminals. Execute "pkmon" in the first, in the second run Listaller Manager. Execute the desired removal-action and wait some time until Listaller does not react anymore. Attach the output which "pkmon" displayed to this bugreport)

Set to alpha-1 milestone.

here's the output of pkmon:

christian@christian-laptop:~$ pkmon
Transactions:
 [none]

thats all

Which application did you try to remove?
Which PackageKit-Version do you have? This seems to be an error in PackageKit or the PackageKit-Bindings.
But it's really strange that Listaller does not display the PackageKit error message or just notifies about a failed action.
Do you use the GTK+-Version of listallmgr? Have you tried the same with the Qt4 version?

Okay, this only appears in the GTK2 version of Listaller cause of a call to g_main_loop_run() inside of the library.
I'll try to find a better way to handle this, but it might take some time.
(Set priority to "high", cause it breaks every Listaller module which is compiled for GTK+)

Hmm, the problem seems to be very deep inside the component set, the mainloop is not the reason.
I'll updated this report if I have any news.

Damn! This bug needs major API/ABI changes on libInstaller to be fixed. Cause this bug has to be fixed for 0.4b, the new version cannot be released on the date we preferred.
This task may delay a release for at least three weeks.

This is a bug in the PackageKit version Ubuntu uses.
There was a Listaller bug too which was a consequence of the PackageKit bug and has been fixed in the last commit. The API changes have been applied on every Listaller module.
The problem with PackageKit remains.
I executed the same commands on a brand-new Fedora 12 machine and everything worked just fine.
Packagekitd gived the following verbose output:

The master branch contains now a patch against this.
Listaller GTK+ modules should not hang anymore while executing PackageKit actions.
Thanks for your bug report!
