I'm having the same problem, except I'm using a fresh install of FC10.

Same problem, after FC10 install, Unable to add/remove software.

I disabled SELinux and the same error still shows.

edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf

and add right after <policy context="default">

Code:
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction"/>
So the entire snippet should look like...

Code:
<policy context=”default”>
<allow send_interface=”org.freedesktop.PackageKit”/>
<allow send_interface=”org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction”/>
</policy>
Worked for me.

I was able to get this working using the same code that SQUARE_EDEN posted above.

SQUARE_EDEN is a BAMF. Just curious, how did you figure that out?

SQUARE_EDEN 12-09-2008 05:44 PM
Problems been out for the past couple of days... I think I saw it in some bug report, don't remember. I'm sure a simple google search could have yielded the same results though...

Just an update on this particular bug.

The news on fedoraforum is that an update was pushed into stable for Fedora 10. REFERENCE: fedoraforum

If you follow through, you can see that the Fedora 9 fix is currently in Testing stages REFERENCE: PackageKit-0.3.12-1.fc9


I'm sure it'll make it's way to Stable shortly.

i got rid of the problem by using an alternative update method. from a console type

yum update

yum update generates a similar error message as posted above, but after a
reboot the problem seems gone and i can use add/remove programs and system update again

this worked for me on two seperate fedora 9 machines

Regards, Pipje

I tried to use Square_Eden's method to fix mine on Fedora 9 but it won't let me save telling me that I don't have permission. Can anyone help? Thanks

You need to have root / admin access to edit the file.

yum update, runs packagekit-refresh.
reboot
and all my bug-fixes and updates are working again.

note: state for fedora9 fix was moved into stable as well.

Sry I am still fairly new to linux, the only way I know how to access /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf is with a text editor and I dont know how to sign in as root from there. Thanks for any help

Do like Pipje said, just open the Terminal. Use the command su (This command logs you in as a SuperUser that means you got every right) and enter your root password. Then type in yum update and let the magic do its job. Then everything should be fine.
