[Bug 1021960] Re: python-aptdaemon.pkcompat cannot resolve some packages

Hello, @Matthias, I was travelling around in the wilderness of Canada for some time. But thanks that you noticed my disappearance :) Could you please narrow down the error a little bit and how it affects aptdaemon. Is the problem that you don't get the ardour-i686 package on a am64 system?

The package data reads Origin: Ubuntu, so it's not a PPA package. The bug looks identical to the one in PackageKit itself that could not resolve multiarch packages. Stephen, could you tell us what exactly LSC is doing there? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

Even the original Software Center might switch to the new XDG lib, when it's stable for performance reasons. (C vs. Python) The SQL-cache is only an experiment whil allows requesting package-state.data pretty fast. We don't use it anywhere at time, because it suffers from synchronisation

Hi! Aptd can do some things faster by handling the cache smarter and - because it does not try to be distro-agnostic - can rely on client tools accessing the Apt db directly, while PackageKit sends everything over a DBus connection. We're working on making it possible for PackageKit to execute
