Describe the bug
installation fails because the installer cannot find gnome-software-packagekit-plugin
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run the desktop.sh script per the instructions in the readme
- "Proceed with the installation"
- Error occurs during installation
The error:
error: target not found: gnome-software-packagekit-plugin
ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
Additional context
I checked the Arch Repositories and there is no package in the repos named "gnome-software-packagekit-plugin"
I do see that there is an AUR package called "gnome-software-packagekit-plugin.git"
Update:
It looks like there was a deliberate decision made by Arch with respect to gnome-software and packagekit (see here)
Update 2:
Removing gnome-software-packagekit-plugin from line 216 (the pacstrap step) resolves this problem. But I believe this means gnome-software will have no integration with packagekit
Two longer term solutions could be:
- don't include a software center GUI
- switch to pamac
I will remove gnome-software
