Updated apper package disables broken update notifications

Publication date: 06 Feb 2014
Modification date: 06 Feb 2014
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 4

Description

This update to apper disables apperd, which displays notifications when
new updates are available, in KDE, for two reasons:
1) users get the notifications twice, once from the KDE-specific apperd, 
and once from the Mageia-specific mgaapplet
2) the packagekit backend for urpmi in Mageia 4 is broken. The notification
invites users to update through apper, but apper can't install the updates
because of that broken backend. This should be fixed in a future packagekit
update.
