Description

App crashes
Drkonqi starts
Drkonqi complains that the crash data is incomplete
Drkonqi offers a button to install stuff to make the data better
Installer gets started
Installer has 3 states:
- Looking for packages we can install
- Offer installation of those packages
- Installation of packages
Once done we return to drkonqi which now reloads data and allows the user to report the bug

Current look

should we maybe use pkgkit to not conflict with discover? (for install probably, for the other parts it doesn't really work... can't add repo (ddebs injection), can't get sourcename of package...)
how to handle ubuntu ddebs? should maybe be automatically add the repo and then ask the user if they want to keep it enabled to speed up future debugging?
maybe write for multile resolver logics on packagekit, so other distros could use the same thing, not sure that is even possible

sitter updated the task description. (Show Details)

Needs new debug installer written which uses pkgkit

There is a debug installer now, it has no UI though. As in: it entirely relies on the UI drkonqi provides, which is severely limited :(

That's actually what this task is primarily about. the techno aspects at the end are only implementation details of what goes on behind the scenes.
