[Bug 1396611] Re: Cannot install click packages on ISO installs of Ubuntu

[Sebastien Bacher]

Xenial got this change

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scope-
click/0.1.1+16.04.20160318-0ubuntu1

"unity-scope-click (0.1.1+16.04.20160318-0ubuntu1) xenial;
urgency=medium

  * Add dependency on packagekit so install of clicks will work on PCs."


it means that installing unity8/unity-scope-click is installing packagekit now (and removing the aptdaemon compat layer) which should make things work. Unity8 still doesn't have the prompting capability needed though it seems, maybe one workaround would be to add a plka file allowing local users to install clicks without have to auth, since clicks don't have access to system directories it's less likely to damage the system so it might be an ok thing to do there?


On, and we still plan to update packagekit at some point (next cycle hopefully) so we still need to make click stop using the deprecated interface...
