[Bug 528679] Re: Kpackedkit update details inform that there are no update descriptions
Actually this is not a network problem. The packagekit backend tries to fetch the a server to get the changelog but sometimes it is not available. In KPackageKit 0.6 it will still show some info even if it couldn't get the changelog. Also if you have sources from partners and such they might not even provide the changelog. So this isn't a bug, it's just a server behavior.

Re: [Bug 528679] Re: Kpackedkit update details inform that there are no update descriptions
This problem seems to be solved with Kubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. KPackeKit was reformulated and is very good. It shows descriptions most of the times I need to update. --- Em 02-12-2010 17:24, Daniel Nicoletti escreveu: Actually this is not a network problem.

This bug still happens for updates related to the kernel. I'm adding a screenshot from kpackagekit showing security updates to libdevmapper1.02.1. ** Attachment added: missing description details on libdevmapper (kpackagekit) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kpackagekit/+bug/528679/+attachment/1679070/+files/kpackagekit.png -- Kpackedkit update details inform that there are no update descriptions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kpackagekit in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 528679] Re: Kpackedkit update details inform that there are no update descriptions
I have noticed that the descriptions on the details box have been fixed, probably since Kubuntu 10.04, maybe before. Nevertheless, Sometimes it still shows the no update description has been foud message when the highlighted package is related to kernel headers. I can't remember exactly which one showed the problem, only that it happened only with some of the packets related to the kernel update, not all. -- Kpackedkit update details inform that there are no update descriptions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kpackagekit in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 528679] Re: Kpackedkit update details inform that there are no update descriptions
Yes, this happens from time to time lin Lucid. It looks like a network error (I guess it fetches the description from a Canonical server). But it happens at least 10 times more frequently than network errors in other programs, e.g. Browser. So I'm sure this could be somehow improved in kpackagekit. Maybe just retrying if the first attempt fails?
