[BUG] Installing Tailscale RPM on Fedora Silverblue breaks gnome-software

Open vega-d opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

What is the issue?

Well firstly, installing tailscale on Silverblue is a hassle, because the install script tries to use dnf which is not present.

However, even after successfully installing tailscale gui app store gnome-software fails to acquire metadata lock file (seemingly) due to some kind of a misconfiguration of repository's gpg key.

this results in a complete breakage of gnome software (but not the cli updater, rpm-ostree) which I'd say is a pretty big deal on a desktop operating system.

Steps to reproduce

First, the process of adding the repository is a little different.

sudo wget https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/fedora/tailscale.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d/

(--apply-live flag will make it so applying the new package won't require a reboot)

sudo rpm-ostree install --apply-live tailscale

at that point, gnome-software will already error out and refuse to work.

Are there any recent changes that introduced the issue?
