Blame kpackagekit for this misbehaviour! In the very moment kpackagekit finds updates and you accept an update suggestion and enter the password the "locks" - file gets deleted. Bad, bad habit of kpackagekit - you guys had better stayed with what you had for years and what used to be working :-( Please fix!

I am lowering the severity, as it is not straightforward to reproduce. You need to get the requires of a locked package and then do another operation to get the reset lock commited.

is kind of strange. As an administrator I am urged now to live with kpackagekit, and everyone knows that defective packages hang around all the time. And if you argue that an effect that happens _immediately_ and _always_ when using the services of kpackagekit you're urged to use as the former yast frontend for updates does not exist any more is not straightforwad to reproduce, hmm, then, please tell me what would be straightforward in your opinion? It is 100% reproducible ..... ;-) Don't get me wrong, I am glad you fix this, but I cannot agree with your points. This bug is severe IMHO because it touches the basics of system administration. If I have to tell people don't use this service because it definitively destroys functionalities (talking about the defective package of mgetty that is being distributed) then it is serious. At least much more serious than a simple broken feature of a non-system relevant program. Thank you anyway for fixing this quickly, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I suggest just a PackageKit upgrade in 11.4. Here is the relevant changes from 0.6.12 to 0.6.14 (leaving out other backends): Also, there are fixes related to the daemon cancelling transactions when asked to quit, which may fix also #689627 add missing python(gio) requirement check for polkit_authority_get_sync symbol trivial: refactor category to group network: update for NetworkManager 0.9 snapshots Add storeInCache parameter to downloadPackages to cover new API qt: Fix typo in SearchGroups zypp: uses the standard system update algorithm from ZYpp, which honours user policies. (bnc#637764) Patch::Content is returned by value, so we should not iterate using two different copies. Fixes crash on get-updates (bnc#685831) Use output parameters (references) for containers instead of pointers. ZYpp throws exceptions and therefore it is safer to have objects allocated on the stack if you are not protecting them with a guard or smart pointer. use std:: and zypp:: namespace once to remove the hundred ocurrences of namespace noise. Use const string & typo remove unused function Report download speed (bnc#663069) Added Italian translation pkcon: add missing {} around if docs: fix path of packagekitd docs: update Feature Matrix for conary client: fix precedence when assigning strings to a *GStrv trivial: Increase loop timeout in engine self-test trivial: Inform about GNOME-PackageKit in Debian browser-plugin: Remove deprecated symbols Add GIR annotations to make PK GIR usable Add missing languages to LINGUAS file Minor typo Richard Hughes (32): trivial: post release version bump trivial: require --enable-local for make check support in src/ trivial: fix make check for 64bit debian systems that only have /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.2800.0 rather than /lib/libglib-2.0.so trivial: remove the get-updates cached results test, we're testing code that no longer exists trivial: show different warning messages for the different databases trivial: make the error checks more strict in the pk_backend_set_name() tests trivial: increase the allowed time for cleanup in the self test programs to prevent an intermittent failure Work with NetworkManager >= 0.8.992 which has removed two enumerated types Revert "Work with NetworkManager >= 0.8.992 which has removed two enumerated types" glib: allow pk_client_download_packages_async() to be called with no target directory Port away from PolkitBackendActionLookup to support new versions of PolicyKit trivial: post release version bump Introduce other attributes in the SetProxy() method Honour ACLOCAL_FLAGS in Makefile.am. Fixes fd#35237 trivial: fix make check after the new proxy parameters was introduced Fix a crash where the error code was pointing to freed memory. Fixes rh#684464 Automatically cancel running background transactions if a foreground transaction is committed Clear the pending queue and cancel any background transactions when we get SuggestDaemonQuit trivial: fix up the Fedora spec file Add a 'store_in_cache' attribute to the DownloadPackages method directory passed to it Do not allow backends to output duplicate older packages when searching with newest trivial: update the LINGUAS file trivial: Update linguas file after I broke it in f983ebe658d596cc7847e31feb3ef4894338ecac Do not abort in pk_catalog_init() if PackageKit is not available.
