I can confirm that this bug is affecting me on KDE as well. kpackagekit did
not report any updates for over a week. I finally got suspicious and looked
with zypper to find that there were indeed updates to be applied. Once I
installed these updates "manually" (with Yast online update), then kpackagekit
began to work again. I saw this bug and now I periodically check dmesg to be
sure that kpackagekit isn't getting fooled by the crash. A couple of days ago
the backend was crashing again and I had to do a manual update--which again
fixed the crashing.
I don't know what conditions are causing the backend to crash, but it does
appear to be blocking all updates by kpackagekit.
