Unable to Update fc9
 

Following an update to fc9 a few days ago; I have not been able to update since. I keep getting the following messages;-

A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "GetUpdates" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit")

I also get similar message trying to do a 'Refresh Package list' in 'Add/Remove Software'.

Could anyone tell me how to resolve the error; or what to reload to rectify?
Many thanks

I don't know how to fix that, but maybe in the meanwhile you could open up a terminal window and type 'yum check-update'?

Could it be a selinux issue?

whats the output of:
/usr/sbin/sestatus

Many thanks for your replies - I have managed to do a full update in terminal using 'yum update'; but now I get the following message when trying to update;-
failed to get a TID: Method "SetLocale" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" doesn't exist
(0)
And also Add/Remove Software does not work (appears to not be fully loaded - some menus missing).
/usr/sbin/sestatus does not work - as no application installed for this type of file.

Looks as though I might have to reload whole system (unless anyone can think of alternative.

Hi again - Following the 'yum update'; I rebooted the pc and was then able to update and refresh the packages in Add/Remove Software. The only error I had was on boot-up when NFS failed. As NFS appears to be for servers, I removed in Add/Remove Software, rebooted again and the whole system appears to be fully operating OK. Thanks again all for your help

Hmm. I'd rather have seen some diagnostics instead of rebooting to "fix" things but since it works for you, OK, cool...

Hi. Well if there had been diagnostics; the chances are I would not have understood them well enough to have been able to know exactly what to do. So, maybe I was lucky on this ocassion as all seems to be working OK still. My knowledge of fc9 is a bit limited as I am relatively new to the operating system. Thanks again, regards
