[packagekit] PackageKit is not installing packages on RHEL 7.4 using the doc example.

[Julio Faracco]

Hi guys,

I have a doubt. We have a project here that is using PackageKit and
Gio to install packages.

A similar code as virt-manager:
https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/blob/master/virtManager/packageutils.py

This code is working very well. But recently, we moved to RHEL 7.4 and
code section is not installing packages properly. Even If I moved to
the current example:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/files/session.py

Basically, this example opens gnome-software and it does nothing.
It only shows that the package is not available because it is not
listed as an Application.

I see a similar thread on Bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217918

Does anyone know a workaround?

Thanks
