[Bug 1619593] Re: pkcon Fatal ERROR: MIME type not supported. when installing clicks in unity8 on a laptop

[Michał Sawicz]

I'm afraid support for clicks was dropped in Y, we're working on
replacing them with snaps in this release.

The problem is that packagekit 1.0 doesn't allow plugins any more, so
the plugin was dropped in yakkety.

See
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/click/0.4.44+16.10.20160809.1-0ubuntu1
for the relevant changelog entry.

** Changed in: click (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Changed in: packagekit (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  unity8 on a laptop

  Won't Fix
Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A week ago I had no problem to install
  clicks(filemanager,music,terminal) but this week I came across with
  this pkcon error. Could it be caused by a packagekit update?

  Enviroment: Desktop running unity8 on 16.10
              HW: intel graphics+intel processor

  Preconditions: download some clicks of core/non core apps to install

  Steps to reproduce:

  1º Open terminal and run $ pkon install-local --allow-untrusted /path

  Current result: pkcon command returns the error given at the bottom

  Expected result: pkcon command should run with out any issue and
  clicks should be installed

  Reproducibility 100%
