Unable to remove/uninstall Watchman. Fedy reports Task failed!

[karansapolia]

Describe the bug I installed Watchman using Fedy, now I am unable to remove/uninstall Watchman. Fedy fails to uninstall and doesn't show any reason. Running any watchman command throws the same error. Stuck.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Fedy
2. Click on Remove button next to Watchman (if you have it installed).
3. See error (happens in my case)

Expected behavior

1. Watchman should get removed successfully when Remove is clicked.

If there is no better version than the eklitzke/watchman copr repo, I'm afraid this component will have to be removed...

For now, how do I understand what is the error and how do I uninstall Watchman? I need to reinstall it for work.

[kwizart]

I don't know, It's not my fault if it's unmaintained by the maintainer.

[karansapolia]

Was able to uninstall it using dnf though. Would be great if we have an up to date way of installing/uninstalling it through Fedy. Let me know what the process might be if we need an updated copr for it. Would be happy to maintain it.

You can have a look at the fedy plugin from /usr/share/fedy and see what is done. copr is https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/

I plan to push a new fedy release soon, so I'm going to remove this plugin. Please resubmit a new one if there is a maintained version.

[kwizart]

Plugin removed, feel free to submit a new one if any copr repos is working.
