I have no idea why gnome-software doesn't find this for you, the bug is confusingly written. The bug description suggests it is not installed, then the comment suggests it is installed and not working?
Anyway, gnome-software should work here. And ubuntu-mate meta packages should have the correct dependencies that packagekit is functional. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1938641 librecad missing AppStream data ** Changed in: ubuntu-mate Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1889057 Title: shares-admin can't install services - failed to install package: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1889057/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
