Greetings ,
As am browsing the internet category ( for example ) looking if there
is anything interesting ( usually there are a lot ) i find that
programs like Viber,Skype, Anydesk are offered to be installed
although there are alread installed on my computer . Well up
to a point at least Discover seems to know which programs are already
installed on my computer and just offer the option to remove
them , BUT in some cases it would seem that it makes mistakes . Have
i forgotten to configure / update something ( possibly a
database Discover is looking ) ??? Is simpy Discover making a few
mistakes every now and then as to which programs are already
installed or am Discover is unaware of the software installed and am
simply supposed to do the thing myself ??
If i may ask , who tells Discover what is already installed and what
not ?? Am i correct to assume that Discover offers a wast
range of programs in various categories regardless of the way they
are packaged ( rpm or otherwise ) ??
Am using Fedora 33 upgraded from Fedora 32 ( which was upgraded from
Fedora 31 ) .
If you look in "settings" of Discover you'll see where it looks
(sources/repos) for what is available.
You may see multiple copies of applications (firefox being one) which
are available in the standard
Fedora repos as well as from Flatpak.
Yes found the corresponding settings where you said they will be . Well
indeed there was
a dl.flathub.org entry and the other were my repositories . That would
also account for the
duplicate entries for Firefox and other apps as you mentioned .
Discover uses the rpmdb to determine what is installed as well as
whatever Flatpak uses to keep
track of what has been installed from there. Note, I'm not very
familiar with Flatpak.
Well can't pretend that am a Flatpak expert myself either . The only
question that remains is .
Since i was using rpms , is there a way to check the integrity of the
RPM Database ( theoretically
it should be done automatically but ok ) . Also i think updatedb ( as
root ) would update the
rpm database. Am i correct ??
