Description:
`pacupdate`, which is currently in the community repository doesn't seem to work properly. From what I see, it doesn't parse the output from `pacman -Qu` correctly, so it always reports that there are no updates available. Probably a recent version of pacman changed the output format and that's why pacupdate fails. The second problem I experienced, after fixing this with a patch, is that notifications when updates were available didn't show: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pacupdate/tray.py", line 145, in create_notification self.notification.attach_to_status_icon(self) AttributeError: 'pynotify.Notification' object has no attribute 'attach_to_status_icon' After I wrote a second patch to fix this issue, it seems like the notification window's "Show full updates list" button is broken and doesn't show a list at all. Looking at the SVN repository <http://code.google.com/p/pacupdate/source/list> shows that the latest changes are from more than 2 years ago. Because the project seems dead and also broken, I propose that it gets removed from [community]. Additional info: * package version(s) 0.1.1-4 / or latest from SVN * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: |
