gpk-application missing

[arcticcorey]

i have been using Fedora since Fedora 6 extensively and am a linux sysadmin

i have an odd issue with Fedora 10
packagekit is installed but the gpk applications do not exist anymore
are gpk packages in one of the packagekit rpms i have not installed?

yum works fine

yum groupremove GNOME Desktop
then later i
yum groupinstall GNOME Desktop


now my gpk-application does not seem to exist

none of gpk-XXXXX tools exist i tried find/locate/whereis and none of them exist

@corey-laptop:~$ which gpk-application
/usr/bin/which: no gpk-application in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/corey/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin)

Are you missing "gnome-packagekit"? I'd worry that you are missing more packages.

thanks peregrinebebop

that was so simple and so obvious you would think after an hour of trying i woulda at least thought of that one

It was easy for me since this worked.

[me@computer ~]$ rpm -qf `which gpk-application`
gnome-packagekit-2.27.2-0.2.20090414git.fc11.x86_64

The real question is why

yum groupremove GNOME Desktop
yum groupinstall GNOME Desktop

didn't do what you wanted.

The man page for yum warns that groupremove doesn't match groupinstall but still I don't see what went wrong.
