Description Kamil Páral 2016-08-17 12:57:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
Freshly installed F25. I downloaded google chrome rpm from official website and clicked on it in Nautilus. Gnome Software opened up. I clicked Install, and nothing happened. Clicking Install again didn't help.

packagekitd --verbose said:

If I try "pkcon install-local ./google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm" instead, it "works" in that sense that it downloads all dependencies and asks me to confirm installation. If I do, it fails with 

Fatal error: package redhat-lsb-4.1-32.fc25.x86_64 cannot be verified and repo fedora is GPG enabled: package not signed: redhat-lsb-4.1-32.fc25.x86_64.rpm

That is probably a separate issue (F25 packages are still not signed). But gnome-software doesn't seem to do anything, it does not download dependencies, it does not report any error - nothing happens.

I also tested with Skype for Linux Alpha, same issue:
https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/downloading-web/?type=weblinux-rpm


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PackageKit-1.1.4-0.1.20160805.fc25.x86_64
gnome-software-3.21.4-1.fc25.x86_64
hawkey-0.6.3-2.fc25.x86_64
rpm-4.13.0-0.rc1.41.fc25.x86_64
dnf-1.1.9-3.fc25.noarch

How reproducible:
always for me (for clean installs). but I have seen it start downloading deps once, not sure what was different.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install clean F25 Workstation from Live into VM
2. download google-chrome from https://www.google.com/chrome/
3. double-click on the rpm
4. click Install in gnome-software

This seems to violate:
"All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test. "
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_25_Final_Release_Criteria#Default_application_functionality

Installing local RPM files is likely considered a basic functionality of a package manager.

I modified the repo files to say gpgcheck=0 and the issue is still present for gnome-software. So this is not about unsigned packages.
Comment 3 Geoffrey Marr 2016-08-22 22:23:57 UTC 
Discussed during the 2016-08-22 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as an AcceptedBlocker was made as installing a local RPM constitutes 'basic functionality' for Software, thus this violates "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test."

> F25 packages are still not signed

I'm still not sure "turning on" signing at the 11th hour is a good idea for testing a release. Didn't we talk about enabling the signing after the branch each release? I'm getting too old for post-beta bugs about package signing as I've seen it about 3 times before...

Regardless, I'll work on the error path bug you've found here today.
Comment 5 Richard Hughes 2016-09-28 14:42:27 UTC 
I've just downloaded and installed http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/25/Workstation/x86_64/iso/ in gnome-boxes, did "sudo dnf update", downloaded the google chrome rpm, double clicked it and it installed fine on gnome-software. Could you verify this bug is still valid please? Thanks.
Comment 6 Kamil Páral 2016-10-03 11:17:16 UTC 
I tried with a fully updated VM, then with a default install of Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-20161002.n.0.iso, and then with that installation fully updated. I can't make it work, click on Install does nothing. How can I help you debug it?
Comment 7 Kamil Páral 2016-10-03 12:22:31 UTC 
This seems to be fixed if I restart gnome-software process. But after login (when it's running as /usr/bin/gnome-software --gapplication-service) or when gnome-software process is killed and started from nautilus by clicking on RPM, this bug occurs.
Comment 8 Kamil Páral 2016-10-04 09:09:27 UTC 
This is being worked on, this scratch build [1] seems to fix the issue.
