Comment # 18 on bug 1202796 from ell1e

For what it's worth I have slow internet, and a repository refresh takes
multiple minutes as a minimum. So if that for example isn't canceled, and
packagekitd maybe even does that often (which in my opinion maybe it shouldn't
but other comments suggested it currently does) that would explain why it never
quits. However, KDE Discover also seems to aggressively restart packagekitd
from how it looks like to me, that seems like part of the problem. My apologies
if I observed any of these things incorrectly.
