'package' failed #127

My system is Fedora 38
Need a way to see why 'package' failed.
'package' = any software package, Google Chrome, Filebot, Multimedia codecs and etc. That require root priv to install.

I get Authenticate window asking for password to run as root.
When I enter password for root, I get Authentication Failed. But when I enter my password and try to install the 'package'. I then get notification window says 'package' failed. Is there a way to see why the installation package failed?

Or did I miss something when I installed Fedy.

To Reproduce

  1. Launch Fedy
  2. Click on a 'package', I have tried Google Chrome and Filebot.
  3. Authenticate window pop-up, enter password
  4. Then notification will pop-up, 'package' Failed.

Can you provide the group for your user ?

$ groups

Fedy might assumes end-user has right to install package using "his password" as sudo like. (not the root password), so end-user should be in the wheel group for this to work by default.

Also can you run and show the outputs ?
sudo bash -x /usr/share/fedy/plugins/google-chrome.plugin/install.sh

There is no install.sh for any plugin, but seems like installing peazip failed (so I will remove the fedy plugin as there is no alternative)

Does you initial permission issue was fixed by reinstalling fedora ?

Also note that f37 is EOL, you will not have further fedy releases...

About multimedia codecs, I've found some issue that can be solved recently, but it requires fedora 38 and newer fedy (unreleased)

Can you try this install.sh ? (using bash -x )
