Bug ID: 512957
Summary: PackageKit plugin hard-coded to deny OSTree
installatons
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: PackageKit

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I've noticed that in the PackageKit plugin, it is specifically hardcoded to
deny it from being used when /run/ostree-booted exists.
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/blob/master/libdiscover/backends/PackageKitBackend/PackageKitBackend.h#L90
I have recently written a PackageKit backend to specifically support
bootc-based images for updating over PackageKit
(https://github.com/FyraLabs/PackageKit-bootc), and Discover refuses to start
and crashes outright, considering the plugin invalid due to /run/ostree-booted
existing, making updates over PackageKit impossible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install PackageKit-bootc and the PackageKit backend
2. Attempt to run Plasma Discover
OBSERVED RESULT
The PackageKit backend gets rejected and the application crashes
EXPECTED RESULT
Discover loads the PackageKit backend
