the script can't find: "gnome-software-packagekit-plugin" #24

Describe the bug installation fails because the installer cannot find gnome-software-packagekit-plugin

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run the desktop.sh script per the instructions in the readme
  2. "Proceed with the installation"
  3. Error occurs during installation

The error: error: target not found: gnome-software-packagekit-plugin ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

Additional context I checked the Arch Repositories and there is no package in the repos named "gnome-software-packagekit-plugin"

I do see that there is an AUR package called "gnome-software-packagekit-plugin.git"

Update:

It looks like there was a deliberate decision made by Arch with respect to gnome-software and packagekit (see here)

Update 2: Removing gnome-software-packagekit-plugin from line 216 (the pacstrap step) resolves this problem. But I believe this means gnome-software will have no integration with packagekit

Two longer term solutions could be:

  1. don't include a software center GUI
  2. switch to pamac

I will remove gnome-software
