User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0 Build Identifier: When downloading RPMs from the internet, the option is given to open them with GNOME Software (presumably to install them). However, when doing so, Software opens with an error: "GetDetailsLocal not supported by backend". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download an RPM for openSUSE. 2. Open it using GNOME Software. Actual Results: Gave error "GetDetailsLocal not supported by backend" Expected Results: Given details about the package. This happened on my old laptop and my new computer (HP G56 with AMD V140 and custom-built with AMD A10-7700K respectively).

GNOME Software for now no longer ships the local RPM handler. we still have gnome-packagekit for this purpose available.

gpk-install-local-file has been removed from gpk: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-packagekit/commit/src?id=83c6f8590a80333ccda56d727adb2bb13598b748 Unfortunately the dysfunctional .desktop file is still shipped.
This waits for implementations of the needed features on the PackageKit/zypp backend https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1008287
GetDetailsLocal method has been implemented in zypp backend of PackageKit. But this is still not working, due to the the following error: > GetFilesLocal not supported by backend. So GetFilesLocal method should be implemented as well in zypp backend as well.
