If I want to install a software package from a simple rpm file "the GUI
way" on a CentOS 7 system, what am I supposed to do? If I open the file
in the desktop, or alternatively, click on a link to a package in the
browser and tell it to use the default app, gnome-software (I think)
opens, but it just displays the message
Sorry, something went wrong
I mean, really? Isn't this something that should just work? It certainly
did in past releases...
If I quite simply remove gnome-software, which I don't much like anyway,
it looks like the handling reverts to the archive extract tool (whatever
it's called these days), which is actually an improvement, but still not
very helpful.
So, what's everyone else doing in these situations? Is there a
"standard" alternative application? I know this was handle by
gnome-packagekit for a while, but its component for installation from
file seems to be gone. And, yeah, I know about rpm command line and yum
and all, but shouldn't there be a "more user-friendly" way?
Thanks.
