Description

« Hide

If the conary backend of PackageKit can't complete dependency resolution, an error is thrown which propagates to a dialogue box that steals focus unconditionally as far as I can tell.

This is really, really, really annoying.

Please consider instead using notify-osd and/or setting an urgent hint on the window instead.

Thank you.

Have you seen this bug lately? I'd imagine that it's a problem with older gnome-packagekit not dealing with the newer notification stuff.

Scott,

I saw the bug last night after installing the 2.3.0-qa version, so yes, unfortunately I have. This particular issue was related to my manual network settings, but the behaviour was the same.
