KARMIC Propriety Codec Installation fails

[Martin]

Installation from the MCC fails, because the GPG key for medibuntu is missing.

-tgm4883-
I receive the following error in MCC when trying to install proprietary codecs on 9.10 x86_64
"Could not mark all packages.Check your repository lists for universe, multiverse, and main. Perform a packagelist update as well."

It appears that the error

"Could not mark all packages.Check your repository lists for universe, multiverse, and main. Perform a packagelist update as well."

Is caused by MCC not doing an apt-get update after adding the repo (or before trying to install the packages)

[Nick Fox (nickj-fox)]

Updated the code to support Karmic and repaired apt source update procedure.

That fix doesn't apply against current MCC. It needs to be done against mythbuntu-common.

Definitely not a "new bug"... triaged since it is known what is needed to fix.

This bug was fixed in the package mythbuntu-control-centre - 0.56-0ubuntu1

---------------
mythbuntu-control-centre (0.56-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/dirs:
    - Install ui rather than glade directory.
  * ui:
    - Update default window size from 800x400 to 790x480.
  * Use aptdaemon for performing package install and removals
    rather than complex built-in logic. (Stop reinventing the square!)
  * Allow plugins to request a package list update so that future
    invokations will not have errors.
  * Allow a plugin to request that a single package transaction allow
    unauthenticated installation. A large WARNING is presented to the
    user when this option is enabled by a plugin. (LP: #415969)

Ok, i've made a lot of change to MCC and -common to support this type of functionality. The experience still isn't "perfect", but it's much better.

Now here's how it works:

1) Click Proprietary Codecs tab
2) "Enable" medibuntu, hit apply.
The repo gets added and an apt update ran
3) Enable the medibuntu-keyring and hit apply
The keyring gets installed (even though unauthenticated)
4) Enable whatever you want from medibuntu now

This bug was fixed in the package mythbuntu-common - 0.34-0ubuntu1

---------------
mythbuntu-common (0.34-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * lirc:
    - Use the full path for dpkg-reconfigure to prevent a crash.
  * plugins:
    - Set Expand property for MythNews.
    - If mythweb isn't installed, explicitly disable sensitivity
      of mythweb password hbox.
  * themes:
    - Update text to better reflect what the metas represent.
  * properietary_codecs:
    - Request a package list update after enabling the repo.
    - Add support to install the keyring.
    - Allow the keyring package to be installed. (LP: #415969)

Change has been pushed to official Karmic channels.
