Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: packagekit
On Jaunty beta, double-clicking a file with an unknown association, e.g.
Microsoft's CHM format pops up the following message.
"There is no application installed for CHM document files. Do you want
to search for an application to open this file?"
Upon clicking yes however the following cryptic error is thrown:
"There was an internal error trying to search for applications:
The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files"
While I understand that this means that the Packagekit service needs to
be installed, the error message should be changed to something more
user-friendly, or like how Ubuntu offers to install non-free codecs,
automatically prompt to install Packagekit to continue this use case.
