I've just filed a bug report on something whose very name seems to be a problem : gpk? gpk-application? Or what?
Those two are what you see if you right-click the launcher and then click Properties. But rpm -q against them comes back "not installed."
The launcher, is naturally enough, the one that pirut had up through F8 : a CD or DVD in front of an open, apparently empty cardboard box.
Through yesterday, it was launching an app that did indeed let me add and remove software.
Clicking it got a window asking for root's password, and then opened the app -- all as expected.
Today it popped up an undersized window, too briefly to tell whether it was a password request -- and them bugbuddy popped one up, saying it didn't know the app. I let it save its great long report (which seems to concern mainly some 164 "modules," whatever those are) to my desktop; it calls itself gpk-application-bugreport.txt.
But on going to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/relogin.cgi (where I filed report 449453), I failed to find the name gpk, alone or with suffix.
The failure may be mine -- all the more likely inasmuch as I also failed to see a way to attach the bugbuddy report, other than by copying and pasting it.
What should I have looked under??

Bugzilla lists source components. In this case, that would be gnome-packagekit.

OK, thanks! I got it into the thread on that bug -- and did manage to spot the way to attach file.
