What happened to the rpm-installer?

[liberation]

Today I wanted to update Google Chrome, when I discovered that I can not do it via the context menu. There were only two options: "RPM-show info" and "SRPM-Installer for building". I use PCLOS 2012.12. Script version 0.6-1pclos2012.

rpm-installer is in the (Synaptic) repo.

I like it, where is my magic ball

What DE you are using?
The right click menus are still available, this is more a DE problem...

Install    rpmxdgtool

Good advice. But we must find out what happened to the package from the official repository. Chrome 23, I installed with rpm-install.

rpmxdgtool    is in the repository .....  I wouldn't advise installing it otherwise   

It is the package that provides the context menu items.

I understand. Thank you. But what to do with rpm-install? Why it is in the repository in the current state, if there is rpmxdgtool?

Sorry .......  now I understand.

I installed the package and see that the options do not appear as they are supposed to.

I will see if I can find what is wrong ....  later if no one else posts ......

There appeared to be a little mix up when I went to edit the main menu.
There were two entries with the same name .....  rpm-info .....  but with different commands.

There were a couple of entries which were also hidden ......  one of those being rpm-installer.

Unhiding it and saving the changes; then right clicking on a RPM file and selecting 'Other' allowed me to open with rpm-installer and ticking the 'remember' box ensured it was in the right click menu for future use.

I feel sure there must be some reason things were set like this ........  maybe Daniel could comment?

just noticed this change in lxde ??  still can install by going through the menu-- RPM show info and then navigate to the package with that

I know that is not in this post. as for your statment "God knows, i'm not an Angel!" well none of us are and God Know that but we have the right to change now.

Thanks, but I have bad news. I updated the package from the repository (ver. 0.6-2pclos2013), but the situation has not changed. All this happens in PCLOS KDE 2012.12 minimal.
